This community is about the Clocks and Gears workshop for primary schools which teaches children the mathematics of gears and how gears can be used to make mechanical clocks. This workshop has been inspired by the Antikythera Mechanism.
Welcome to the CREATIONS community How can young people’s interest in science be increased? 16 partners from ten European countries want to break new ground. In CREATIONS, a project funded by the European Union, they develop creative approaches based on art for an engaging science classroom. The CREATIONS community portal creates a vital environment of innovative approaches, activities and resources for teachers and students towards Scientific Research. All tools hosted in this portal are based
Welcome to the CREATIONS Online Community for partners (WP4 Community building & Workshops management) This web-space is dedicated to host internal instructions, announce deadlines and relevant links for partners in order to support demonstrators, their communities and their resources for developing an engaging science classroom. Project partners: please bookmark this community and keep visiting prior to a workshop The CREATIONS community portal follows the fundamental aim of the project to
Welcome to the CREATIONS Academy.Here you can find resources to help you define and plan creative science teaching and learning, including good practice examples, planning, workshopping activities and teaching resources, including approaches to Inquiry Based Science Education.

Particle physics and the work of the Large Hadron Collider are very inspirational topics and students are curious about the ongoing research. Often, though, teachers do not feel they have the knowledge and background to be able to answer their students’ questions. The particle physics masterclass allows students, and teachers, to interact with the scientists and engineers working at the Large Hadron Collider, and gives them the opportunity to experience particle physics for themselves.
This community is about a particle physics workshop designed for primary (or low-secondary) school students. The workshop includes: Interactive talk on the research that is carried out at CERN, the atomic and sub-atomic structure of matter and the families of particles in the standard model. Interactive demos on how physicists discover what particles are inside atoms without being able to see the particles themselves Workshop 1 where students design and make a model of a subatomic particle using
Community This is a community by UK primary teachers of the Playing with Protons programme at CERN. In here you will find learning resources such as educational scenarios and lesson plans but also school initiatives and more on primary science education. All this has been developed by the CREATIONS team and most importantly by the teachers themselves who, together with you, constitute an ever-growing community of passionate, innovative and creative primary science educators. You are also
