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
Welcome to the CREATIONS Academy.Here you can find resources to help you define and plan creative science teaching and learning, including good practice examples, planning, workshopping activities and teaching resources, including approaches to Inquiry Based Science Education. For a full description of the CREATIONS demonstrators, visit the CREATIONS parent community. Defining Creativity and understanding the CREATIONS features The CREATIONS definition of Creativity. Tools for planning CREATIONS
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
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
The Open Science Resources (OSR) community enables you to access the finest digital collections in European science centres and museums, to follow educational pathways connecting objects tagged with semantic metadata and to enrich the contents provided with social tags of your own choice. The OSR community contains educational material in the form of educational content (images of exhibits and scientific instruments, videos, animations, exercises, graphs, links) and of educational pathways
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
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
