Hi, I'm a secondary school teacher and I think that students need to be in classrooms that inspire them and filled with examples of work that they aspire to do. Students enjoy decorating their classes. I asked my students to realize some models of the solar system to promote and encourage an interest in Astronomy and Geophysics.  To let them grasp the sheer vastness of the universe we read the article “Heavenly body on the fast line” published by Education Guardian on the October 20, 2010. It takes the reader on a journey through the solar system, past asteroids and comets, to consider the speed at which objects in space are travelling and also the consequences of cosmic collisions. I used the article as a starting point for research about the scale of man-made debris that’s littering outer space and the efforts of space agencies to ward off possible future collisions between asteroids and Earth. This reading was very interesting for the students.

I'm a upper secondary school Maths teacher and space is not part of my students curriculum.  I have   some ideas about using space activities to engage my students during the math lesson  without spending too much time. Elliptical orbits in Maths in conic sections,  and Kepler and Newton Laws in Physics combined  with solving equations, Eratosthenes expiriment about the similar triangles in geometry…  Many ideas to improve my teaching as part of STEM in secondary education... realy fascinating and inspirational to an "old and experienced teacher" who need new activities not only for engaging my students but also for having good time me too!

Hello everybody! I'm a Science teacher in a secondary school. I teach astronomy to 14 year students, now, while some years ago these topics were taught to older students, in their final year of the secondary school. So, now, to get started and fascinate younger students we always start from watching sky at night or during the day, but using specific app (Star walk, for example) to get information about planets, stars, galaxies and more, and to be able to recognize the main constellations and stars you can see without a with a telescope. Then, we visit an observatory to watch Sun and stars with a telescope. In the meantime  we study more about this topics, using book, video, finding many connections with physics, chemistry, but also poetry, music and mithology.

Teaching astronomy in under developped country is not easy at all. The responsibles look having another priorities, but introducing astronomy by doing science and make them understand the relationship with technology, culture and society is a good approach.

I am an English teacher and that gives me a chance to discuss about any topic with my students.

Hello! I'm  a physics teacher in a secondary school from Ukraine. A brief course of Astronomy is a part of the National curricula for 17 - 18 y. o. students in my country. Also, I teach Natural Sciences for 10-11 y. o. students where a topic "The Universe" is included. The children study the Solar System, constellations, and general information about galaxies. This course gave me some new ideas about my teaching. My students just gain general knowledge about Space, and I've never focused on Space career. I think I should make a point of Space career for my students while teaching Astronomy.

Hi, I am Alemiye Mamo from Ethiopia, and I am Physics Lecturer and Science Educator.  I usually start teaching space science by asking some quest which anyone can ask his| herself such as like why the moon doesn’t fall, who support the sky to be stand on space, can we count the stars? Is there another solar system beyond ours? Are we alone? How can we reach to mars?  Trying to answer such question, one can go and explore different areas of knowledge and try to answer from different perspectives such as from the fundamental scientific, applied technologies, philosophically thinking and also its religious and cultural aspect. I usually try to inspire my audience first by this method and try to connect Space science to answer the aforementioned questions with different explanations and analogy.

Using space science while teaching physics

# data[].attributes.body
Being an ex-astrophysicist myself, I often use examples from my old experience in my physics lessons. Astronomy is no more really part of the Italian physics curriculum, but it still provides a fascinating XXX where you can create exercises for your students and
For instance, one possible way to introduce your students to Newton's first law (the law of inertia) to your students is the historical approach: you start with Galileo's pair of inclined planes and proceed reasoning about what would happen if the second plane had inclination zero. It cenrtainly works, and students will grasp the concept.
OR, you could start talking about the trip of Voyager 1. Tell them that the Voyager 1 spacecraft run out of fuel and stopped the engines more than 35 years ago. But it's still running away from the Sun, engines stopped, at a velocity of more than 60000 km/h.
Now, while both approach are reasonable, in my experience the last one bring complete silence in the classroom, awe and following excitement.
Space science is one of the best tool to raise the attention of your students and bring interest in what you are saying.

I teach general Science to 12-15year olds (Junior Cycle) and Biology and Chemistry to 16-18 year olds (Senior Cycle). The new Junior Cycle syllabus for Science has introduced a section on Earth and Space. There will also be a Space Week running across the country in the first week of October to promote Space Sciences. Quite often Space is a topic that is somewhat lacking in the classroom I find, however it is becoming more prominent with all the media available to us now. Recently in my own classroom, a discussion on geotropism in plants  presented the opportunity to discuss growing plants (food) in space - the curiosity it evoked was something else!

Some of the activities that I have already applied and that result and these combinations are for example: Erastontenes experience , use of Stellarium ; Bingo Messier , among others.

Our organisation SPACE India uses hands on science using Astronomy to interest students in science. Astronomy lets the students observe what is going on around them, such as day and night, seasons, hours, and look at the sky and then try to find the answers. Many topics in science can be tackled through activities in Astronomy as Astronomy includes so many scien

Hello ..space dreamers all over the world! My name is Katerina Atmatzidou and I teach Math in a Greek high secondary school. Last year it was the first time that in my own teaching practice used Space Science and Astronomy theme. I had an eTwinning Math project, named "Math Investigation", with my partner. One of the "missions" of the project was "Sun activities". Among the others we used Sun, shadows, measurements, Geogebra and theory of similar triangles to calculate the Earth's radio or the height of our school. My students loved this part of the project.Astronomy was a separate school subject a years ago, but not any more. So The only way to learn about is to use it as a thematical background in some other lessons. I Greek astronomers from the ancient Greece were famous pioneers. Astronomy is related to Greek culture.It is part of our science. So I took part in this learning group hoping to share useful ideas. This year I plan to form a team in my school ""STARRY SKY" and collaborate with students from all over the world! The program's goal is to become an initial familiarity with the night sky. Even if a participant in the future of his life gazing at the sky, he realizes some things to him or even recognizes a constellation, I believe that the program gave something.

I have already made plans about visiting observatories in Athens and I schedule an excursion in an environmental center somewhere in Greece in order to  take part in a learning event about Space and Astronomy. Finally I am going to use problems and excersices to connect the project in curriculum: in Geometry, trigonometry, Algebra, Statistic and Calculus, getting inspiration from space. I have many ideas about the project . For example: 1. Exposure at night, depending on features or Human Nature. 2. Construct an Anelamma. 3.The ancient Greeks had four star categories: Their delusion, their planets, comets (komoentes stars) and shooting. (What does each category?)
4. The stars are symbols? Eg flags, brands (Examples. Why?)
5. Three historians stations - persons marked astronomy: Galileo, Messier, Hubble.
6. Looking at the stars at night, how far you can see our eye? Are the stars  countless ?
7. The movement of the sun over time.
8. The motion of the Moon during the month.
9. With a telescope you intend in the night sky?

I am so exciting about the prospect of a new etwinning project related to Astronomy! Here is one of the posters that my students designed about the :Math Investigation" we had last year. I post it here hoping that we get inspiration for a new great project!

I like to be a teacher but also to be an investigator. Other great challenge of my life is to engage my students in scientific contests. We had some victories in contests of Astronomy like "Cassini Scientist for a day" but we want more! And this course will reveal more ideas!

I teach maths and physics. Since I have an Astronomy background, I find it very useful to use astronomy and space related themes to engage students in the subjects I teach.

I'm a math and science teacher in middle school since 6 years and a science teacher in high school since 3 years. As a biologist I'm not so cultured in this topic but I've started to get into it and get curious when I've become a teacher. Usually I teach this topic in the middle school at the third year. I try to fascinate my student about the beauty of the universe, made them watch videos or photographs. Otherwise, I let them thinking about how tiny we are and where we coming from.
