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.

The difficulty in visualising what takes place in the quantum world has a close relationship to the artist attempting to express their ideas and emotions about the world. Both are concerned with “making the invisible, visible.” “In-Public” a new community arts group co-founded by Ian Andrews and Sarah Fortes Mayer have been collaborating with the particle physics group at the University of Birmingham to develop a series of workshops for schools. The workshops, developed with particle physicist

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
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
