Discover the COSMOS Portal
Discover the COSMOS portal is an experimental laboratory for students and teachers, aiming to improve science instruction by expanding the resources for teaching and learning in schools, providing more challenging and authentic learning experiences. Discover the COSMOS portal brings together resources, virtual experiments and online labs from the fields of Astronomy and High Energy Physics (HEP). It offers access to a network of robotic telescopes and to the major CERN experiments, ATLAS and CMS.
Entwicklung der Weltbevölkerung
Eine Erforschung des Wachstums der Weltbevölkerung wird anhand einer Simulation in Echtzeit durchgeführt. Auf einer großen Projektionsfläche zeigt ein mit Matlab erstelltes Simulationsprogramm in Form einer Treppenfunktion (Aufwärtssprung: Geburtsfall; Abwärtssprung: Todesfall) den aktuellen Stand der Weltbevölkerung. Der Simulation liegen zwei gegenläufige stochastische Prozesse mit exponentialverteilten Wartezeiten zugrunde, deren Parameter aus den von der UNO veröffentlichten globalen Geburts- und

How teachers can use multimedia cards and bookmarks in their lessons
This short video introduces one of the good practices presented by Christian Reimers at the 'Teacher Training' themed interactive workshop session hosted by the DigiSkills project at the 2014 EDEN Annual Conference. The Digiskills project supports teachers of all levels of education to combine ICT skills with pedagogy, to use ICT skills in the curriculum, and in the institutional organisation.

Time Zones on Earth
Time zones are necessary for regulation of modern life in respect to trade, economy, communication and standardisation. In ancient times neighbouring towns had different times and a meeting at a distinct time was not easy to do. Later a kind of synchronisation of the time between distant locations was done e.g. by acoustical signals. Clocks were got more accurate over the time and the need of a standardised zone with the same time was the solution. But the Earth rotates and therefore more than one time zone is more practical.
