XXI Century Classroom in Azores Island 2018 http://esea.ea.gr/content/xxi-century-classroom-azores-island-2018 The Azores archipelago is located near the triple junction of the Eurasian, American and African plates on the Atlantic Ocean. The islands are approximately 1500km from Europe and 3900km from the North American east coast and are located on the Azores Plateau, which is a thick and irregular area of oceanic crust. Azores is providing a unique opportunity to create innovative science
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
Seismology is fundamental for understanding our dynamic planet, as it plays a vital role in monitoring both human-made and natural seismogenic events. Appreciating and understanding seismology's scientific and societal relevance requires knowledge of geology and physics, often coupled with elements of civil engineering, environmental sciences, official state policy, geography and geo-engineering as well as other scientific disciplines. Seismology is thus an engaging and quantitative science
How can cutting edge science be made simple, fun and engaging? How can we explain complex scientific phenomena to our students and increase their interest in science? In collaboration with CERN, and in the framework of the CREATIONS Project, everyday hundreds of students from all over Greece to explore the LHC interactive tunnel (http://cern.ea.gr). What is the mission of CERN? What is the Higgs Boson and can we imagine a universe without it? What really happens in a high energy particle
Στην κοινότητα συμμετέχουν σχολεία και εκπαιδευτικοί που έχουν δηλώσει συμμετοχή στο "Διαγωνισμό Αντιλογιών Δημοτικού". Τα μέλη της κοινότητας μπορούν να αντλήσουν αλλά και να συνεισφέρουν εκπαιδευτικό υλικό σχετικά με τις αντιλογίες στο δημοτικό. Επιπλέον μπορούν να επικοινωνήσουν μεταξύ τους και να ανταλλάξουν ιδέες και καλές πρακτικές.
This community is dedicated to the activities undertaken by schools while building their own seismograph during the national school contest : "Build your own seismograph" (seismografos.ea.gr) These activities focus on the study of a physical phenomenon with great societal impact and proposes pedagogical practices based on inquiry‐based methods that are more effective in science education. The objective of this combination is on one hand to increase children’s and student’s interest in science
Η Υπεύθυνη Σχολική Καινοτομία στο 33ο Δημοτικό Σχολείο Αθηνών. Μια ψηφιακή κοινότητα για την υλοποίηση καινοτόμων καλών πρακτικών και για την υποστήριξη των δασκάλων στη χρήση νέων εργαλείων και μεθοδολογιών με έμφαση στη δημιουργικότητα στη διδασκαλία των φυσικών επιστημών και δράσεις για μια ανοιχτή και δημοκρατική τάξη
Ο στόχος της δράσης είναι να οργανώσει αγώνες αντιλογίας μεταξύ μαθητών και μαθητριών της ΣΤ δημοτικού σε θέματα της επιστήμης που επηρεάζουν την ποιότητα της ζωής μας και του κοινωνικού περιβάλλοντος. Η εκπαιδευτική αυτή δράση καλλιεργεί τις δεξιότητες επικοινωνίας των μαθητών σε ένα αυθεντικό πλαίσιο επιστημονικής μελέτης αλλά και κοινωνικού διαλόγου σε θέματα επιστήμης. Debate Contest is a contest between 11 year old student groups, who debate on issues related to scientific issues that
Στην εποχή όπου οι απαιτήσεις σε κοινωνικό, επιστημονικό και επαγγελματικό επίπεδο ολοένα και αυξάνονται απαιτείται και το «άνοιγμα» του σχολείου στην τοπική κοινωνία. Η ενασχόληση με διαφορετικά επιστημονικά θέματα στοχεύει στην πολύπλευρη ενημέρωση και έρευνα, αλλά και στη διατήρηση του ενδιαφέροντος των μαθητών καθ’ όλη την διάρκεια του σχολικού έτους.
This is a community dedicated to the continuous exploitation of the wealth of activities and ideas offered in the Ark of Inquiry initiative. Teachers and practitioners may find, use and disseminate extremely useful material that combine Responsible Research (RRI) and Innovation with Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) and science teaching in both primary and secondary education. These resources are also relevant to all new approaches that put an emphasis on social responsibility in the school context.
Museums are established institutions, but they also exist in a changing world. How can we find relations between museums and STEM education? What are the dimensions of “museum education” as a discipline of pedagogy and how do innovative approaches in the teaching of modern science apply to museums? Starting from the assumption that material objects within museums are as much a part of the weave of our lives, such a question could be answered by following: -Exolution of problems aiming at the
The main aim of Mathematical Tour on Art is to help students acquire mathematical thinking combing Maths to Art. We believe that Art, as a representative system, can represent mathematical relationships and can help student understand that Maths are a part of everyday life. The idea of holding and organizing these activities begins with some initial research questions that were held by students, who were trying to answer them on all phases of these activities. • Which is the effect of geometry
