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
Did you know that: E=mc2 is the most famous equation of all time in Physics? In this community and its corresponding CREATIONS demonstrator, students will be introduced to the science and some major applications of this equation in a way suitable to be presented in the classroom and then they will be guided to create a science fiction story employing the techniques of creative writing.
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

Η κοινότητα υποστήριξης του Πειράματος του Ερατοσθένη στην Ελλάδα. Τα επίσημα σενάρια για το Πείραμα του Ερατοσθένη είναι τα ακόλουθα: 1. Σενάριο για το Πείραμα του Ερατοσθένη για μαθητές Δημοτικού 2. Σενάριο για το Πείραμα του Ερατοσθένη για μαθητές Γυμνασίου & Λυκείου Αναλυτικές οδηγίες για το πώς να πραγματοποιήσετε το σενάριο μπορείτε να βρείτε εδώ (στα ελληνικά). Κάθε εκπαιδευτικός που με την τάξη του παρακολουθεί ένα από τα επίσημα σενάρια μπαίνει σε κλήρωση για μία υποτροφία το ISE Summer
A project that combines the art of telling stories with the use of a variety of multimedia tools Eurospectives 2.0 stands for encouraging European learners in telling their stories and their perspectives as active citizens. As a spin-off of the strategic partnership, "Digital Natives", the partnership identifies good practices and lifelong approaches in digital learning and digital storytelling. The project aims to enhance the quality and relevance of the digital learning offer in education and
Welcome to the FRONTIERS Community of Ireland! 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
Benvenuti nella comunità di FRONTIERS in Italia! La comunità italiana di Frontiers è gestita dall'European Gravitational Observatory, il laboratorio che ospita l'esperimento Virgo per la rivelazione delle onde gravitazionali. Il progetto ERASMUS+ Frontiers ha come obiettivo quello di avvicinare gli studenti delle scuole superiori alle recenti scoperte della fisica dei giorni nostri (il bosone di Higgs, onde gravitazionali...).

In February 11, 2016 a major scientific discovery was announced by the LIGO collaboration in USA. 100 years after the conception of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity which describes the force of gravity in a new perspective, humankind comes to observe its greatest verification! 1.3 billion years ago, 2 gigantic black holes with masses almost 30 times the mass of the sun each travelling at speed close to the speed of light collided creating a cataclysmic cosmic event. The collision energy
