Have you ever wondered how we can integrate Modern Physics in the school curriculum? Do you believe that exciting discoveries such as the Discovery of Gravitational Waves or the Discovery of the Higgs Boson can be brought in the classroom in a consistent and understandable fashion? The FRONTIERS Project brings together expertise from frontier scientific research and educational research in formal and informal science learning, along with user communities across Europe, in order to demonstrate
This community brings together teachers who are using resources, virtual experiments and online labs from the fields of Astronomy and High Energy Physics (HEP). Among other activities, it offers access training, resources and to a network of robotic telescopes and the major CERN experiments, ATLAS and CMS.

In almost all the reform-based documents, models have consistently been recognized as one of the major unifying ideas that transcend disciplinary boundaries and pervade all scientific, mathematical, and technological fields. Hestenes (1987) describes a model as a representation of structure in a physical system.He also states that a model is a substitute object, a conceptual representation of a real thing. A number of science educators suggest that “models of simulations” offer considerable
The Open Science Resources (OSR) community enables you to access the finest digital collections in European science centres and museums, to follow educational pathways connecting objects tagged with semantic metadata and to enrich the contents provided with social tags of your own choice. The OSR community contains educational material in the form of educational content (images of exhibits and scientific instruments, videos, animations, exercises, graphs, links) and of educational pathways
