Today, we are able to study the universe in many colors that can’t be seen with our eyes. From detecting X-rays, to listening to the radio universe, we are able to use digital detectors to “see” hidden aspects of distant objects. In this Hangout, we will review the electromagnetic spectrum... This community is part of the collection of communities devoted to the Inspiring Science Educaiton Hangout Series. Each community has an associated hangout where Dr. Pamela Gay, renowed astronomer and
Welcome to the Community for the Eratosthenes Experiment 2015-19 for the Measurement of the Earth's Circumference! For details on the event and the latest photo contest, please see here and here.

Community for portuguese Erathostenes PASSOS A SEGUIR Descubra a hora solar verdadeira na sua localidade. Por favor utilize esta Calculadora Solar ou o software Stellarium (Um pequeno guia para a utilização do software Stellarium para calcular a hora solar verdadeira na sua localidade pode ser encontrado aqui). Utilize uma vara com um tamanho de 1 metro e coloque-a na posição vertical, perpendicular ao solo. Peça aos seus alunos para medir o comprimento da vara para confirmar que tem um metro
This community follows the steps of the great greek scientist of the ancient times Eratosthenes. We search information about his life and his experiements and ,at the same time, we re-do his experiement of measuring the shadow of the sun and other equivalant activities. All these take place in a more modern way and with the cooperation of some of the students and teachers community of the school.
This is the eRBOBSON Hub! eROBSON stands for: Educational Robotics at Schools Online with Augmented Reality This project has received funding from the European Union’s Erasmus Plus programme, grant agreement 2020-1-NO01-KA226-SCH-094120. Click here for the eROBSON webiste. The ultimate goal of this Erasmus+ KA2 project is to develop a strategic partnership and later – a self-sustained professional community in the intersection of Educational Robotics and Augmented reality.

ESA and the Galileo Teacher Training Program (GTTP) have been organizing training workshops for science teachers every year since 2009. Participants have the chance to learn about innovative tools and methods that use space science and astronomy to engage students in the sciences. In addition to networking with their peers from across Europe, participants have the opportunity to gain new skills that will enhance their teaching methods and refresh existing lessons. This community aims to bring
Much of the evolution of the universe can be described through the pull of gravity and push of pressure. Gravity condenses gas, it heats up, and if it can, it expands, and if it can’t, stars are formed. In this Hangout, we will consider the gas laws, and look at different kinds of nebulae. This community is part of the collection of communities devoted to the Inspiring Science Educaiton Hangout Series. Each community has an associated hangout where Dr. Pamela Gay, renowed astronomer and educator
Are you a science teacher? Do you want to enrich your classes with exiting experiments and appealing demonstrations? Do you want your students to get hands-on experience of doing science? Then join the Go-Lab project and its Pilot activities! We will support you in using the online labs and the Go-Lab Portal, help you create inquiry learning scenarios for your classes and implement them in Inquiry Learning Spaces. You will get access to the online labs and use them together with your students
