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
This is a community for UK teachers within the Inspiring Science Education community. Here you can find ready-made lesson plans or share some of your own. If you're not already registered, then please register here. Lesson plans aim to effectively support all stages of the UK curricula. They provide an engaging and interactive atmosphere using interactive tools and web-based content. As a teacher you will be able to closely monitor the performance of your class as well as set homework or tasks
Introduction to elementary particles followed by hands-on activity with PCs. The students follow interactively all stages of acceleration of particles by playing an educational game.

This community is linked to the Neutrino Passoire dance performance event which was presented by the Particle Physics Group as part of Arts & Science Festival 2016
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
Physicists have developed a simple and comprehensive theory, The Standard Model, that describes the particles that make up the world and their complex interactions in the universe. Drawing inspiration from different particles' qualities, students are invited to transform them through dance and music, in order to understand basic physics elements using their imagination.
Scientific developments have seen reality dissolved into smaller and smaller invisible particles that the physicist has to make visible, a process mirrored by the artist attempting to express thoughts and emotions through the manipulation of materials. Taking the same journey from something hidden to something revealed, schools come and experiment with ways of visualising particle physics ideas using mark-making, simple three-dimensional materials, photography and film, to explore the intriguing
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
