From 1996 until 2003 I was extensively involved in writing and editing the astronomy laboratory manuals for Oregon State University's four introductory astronomy courses. I am the sole author of:

• PH205 Solar System Laboratory Instructor's Manual
• PH206 Stars and Stellar Evolution Laboratory Manual
• PH206 Stars and Stellar Evolution Laboratory Instructor's Manual
• PH207 Galaxies, Quasars, and Cosmology Laboratory Manual
• PH207 Galaxies, Quasars, and Cosmology Laboratory Instructor's Manual

I have also contributed the following laboratory activities to the PH104 Descriptive Astronomy Laboratory Manual and PH205 Solar System Laboratory Manual:

• Height of Moon Craters and Moon Mountains
• Height of Moon Craters using Computers
• Orbit of the Moon
• Ancient Observatories (with an Introduction by Allen Wasserman)
• Celestial Navigation
• Circumference of the Earth (with an Introduction by David Griffiths)
• Mass of Saturn
• Solar Observing and Spectral Analysis
• Telescopes
