"Multi- Maker" Scientifc Event deals with new scientific notions, such as gravitational waves or the dark matter. These notions are not included in Greek school curricula, although there are new findings on these fields. Therefore, the aim of this demonstrator is to make these notions familiar to the students, to be aware of new, modern scientific findings, to make them understand that there are creative ways to deal with such phenomena and to improve pupils’ enjoyment of and attainment in
This community was created for the Astronomy Adventure Summer School organized in partnership with Instituto de Astrofísica das Canarias, the National Schools Observatory and NUCLIO/ GTTP. The community will be a hub for materials related to the Summer School and other tools and resources that might be useful for the participants.
People living near active volcanoes can play a vital role in the monitoring and management of environmental hazards. Citizen science has been one of the most effective and exciting applications of crowdsourcing, with a whole heap of fascinating projects benefiting from pulling the crowd of enthusiastic amateurs into their endeavours. Whilst many of these projects have important goals in mind, there is one that has arguably a more important outcome than most. Citizen science projects that use low
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
Climate change is a global environmental problem and is linked to many issues in the science.In the scenario entitled "The planet at risk!: The climate change is colorful with creativity and optimistic about multidisciplinary solutions. Young Climate Change Scientists explore & decide with creativity & responsibility "is characterized by: • Learning based on research (IBSL) • Interdisciplinary approach to STEM courses. By translating and adapting the STEM acronym to this teaching scenario we try
Welcome to the Creative Science Classroom! Our goal is strengthening Creativity in Science Education. Join us on this exciting journey by exploring innovative, creative teaching materials in one of these Case Studies: Science Theater (ST), Junior Science Café (JSC) and Write a Science Opera (WASO). The Creative Science Classroom will be enriched with more cases in the near future.

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. Transit of Mercury 2016 Live at: http://ustre.am/1vYJ6 The organisers of the recent projects IYA2009 - Shape of the Earth, ERATOSTHENES experiment and IYA2009 - Distance to the Moon and
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 main goal of the specific demonstrator is to incorporate a series of activities following the basic principles of engineering «inquiry», «imagine», «draw», «create», «improve» in order to engage primary students in an authentic scientific discovery process while dealing with the topic of bridges. This teaching and learning cycle enhances students in applying inquiry, creative approaches and develop competences and skills such as problem solving and critical thinking. Moreover, to address the
Διεπιστημονική μελέτη ζητημάτων ρύπανσης του περιβάλλοντος μέσα απο πραγματικά δεδομένα για την εξαγωγή συμπερασμάτων και την λήψη αποφάσεων. Interdisciplinary study of environmental pollution issues through real data to draw conclusions and make decisions.

Around the world, awareness is growing that we live on a planet with limited resources. The apparent ΅planetary emergency’ signals an educational crisis, among others, that demands new ways of thinking and calls for support to these key competences necessary for active citizenship and social cohesion, as well as a turn towards green professions. What is more, teachers may lack the necessary skills needed to enhance studentsΆ key reflective problem-solvers, and at the same time, students do not
The main aim of the ‘Inquiring the Ghost Particle’ demonstrator is to improve pupils’ enjoyment of and attainment in science via inquiry-based investigations. The demonstrator’s objective is to introduce students to the most recent discoveries in the field of particle physics research and enhance their development of inquiry skills by engaging them in reflective processes on the way of scientific inquiry throughout the history of particle physics. This is achieved by providing opportunities for
