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 communities across Europe, in order to demonstrate

This community is devoted to exploring constellations, the associated mythology, the current view from the International Astronomical Union and how to use the beauty of stars to promote understanding about distances and scales in the Universe

This subcommunity is dedicated to explore the topic of comets and their probable importance for life on Earth. This space will be populated with relevant tools and resources to help the construction of innovative and engaging scenarios related to comets and its exploration. This community is part of the ISE hangouts series devoted to Astronomy and Space Science. Each community has an associated hangout where Dr. Pamela Gay, renowed astronomer and educator interviews scientists involved in

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

Bem vindo à Comunidade FRONTIERS de Portugal! A comunidade portuguesa FRONTIERS é gerida pelo NUCLIO-Núcleo Interactivo de Astronomia e tem como objetivo oferecer aos professores um local de agregação onde podem encontrar colegas e descarregar recursos relevantes no âmbito do projeto. Alguma vez questionou como podemos integrar a Física Moderna na sala de aula? Acredita que descobertas entusiasmantes como a descoberta das Ondas Gravitacionais ou do Bosão de Higgs podem ser integradas na sua

This community is devoted to actvities and resources related to one of the cornerstones of the International Year of Light 2015. The Cosmic Light EDU kit gathers tools and resources that invites a broad exploration of the topic of light including materials for students with special needs. This kit was assembled with the support of several institutions and programs: National Optical Astronomical Observatories, UNAWE (University of Leiden), Galileo Teacher Training Program, CosmoQuest, European

The international project ​Dark Skies Rangers (​DSR​) aims to ​combat the problem of light pollution​, by raising awareness among the educational community and local authorities to change lighting​ ​systems​ ​and​ ​preserve​ ​the​ ​night​ ​sky. DSR goals: To fight bad quality outdoor lighting and wasting of energy; To decrease public costs with lighting, while at the same time promoting an increase on the quality of life both for humans and the wildlife; To increase the security on the local

This community is devoted to he Dark Skies Rangers Contest. This is an internationl contest with the objective of creating awareness for the growing problem of light pollution and its effects in our lives. Dark Skies Rangers is a program supported by NOAO (National Optical Astronomical Observatories) and GTTP (Galileo Teacher Training Program)

A ~50 minute lesson plan with high interactivity using simple experiments aimed at A-level. Students learn about the various wavelength in which Astronomers observe and how these affect the way we can see the Universe. They then go on to apply this knowledge using the Multiwavelength Universe app. Students then learn about the Cosmic Microwave Background and its implications for the make up of the Universe.. Finally, students get to apply this knowledge by designing a space telescope using an

This community is created for Irish Primary Schools who are in the process of or have achieved Digital School of Distinction Status. Teachers and schools can create and share resources, best practice and ideas. The community will support collaboration and connections with schools in Europe.

The Digital Schools of Europe Project. The key priorities of the project are: Enhancing digital integration in learning, teaching, training and youth work at various levels Addressing low achievement in basic skills through more effective teaching methods Developing basic and transversal skills using innovative methods

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

The aim of the course is to enhance science education by presenting the fabric of the cosmos as was shaped by scientific evidence and explanations through 400 years of scientific advancement. This is the place where yu can upload your own resources, educational scenarios and lesson plans!
