University Laboratory High School

University Laboratory High School students and staff have been involved in a number of web-based science education initiatives. Some have been collaborative ventures including other U of I departments and entities, while others have been developed in-house. Please feel free to browse these initiatives and let us know if you use any of the education-related materials we have developed.
