With students of my classroom scienze I organized an evening of star gazing, with photographs and reproduction of large star maps.
The experiment continues and there will be other appointments.

All the activities are very interesting. I think that Cerberus would be a fun activity for my students. By playing this game they will help science and at the same time.work like scientists and contribute to this great community...and become a Citizen  Scientist

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the Great World Wide Star count because we can use it now during the Space Week also. You can be part of a big international project and truly feel a global Citizen Scientist.

Space week has just been in School. Although I am not teaching the topic space, I wanted all years to get a flavor of it and what research is happening. I introduced the story of Rosetta and date the mission completed. I opened the floor to the students to what they wanted to research but the topic had to be space related. My  students choose to research the planets with one student wanting to research more about the Rosetta Mission and what data was collected to date. Another student choose to research Spudnik. I was happy- my students were enthusiastic and were asking many questions.

I founded an eTwinning project SpaCiality - My place in Space which will be completely integrated into curriculum

About the project
This project aims to be an introduction to Space awareness related topics. Students should become familiar with the basic concepts of the Universe and to be aware of time and spatial dimensions in order to inspire a new generation of space explorers.

Almost all of us imagine space as dreamy, mystical, interesting and we all wonder what is happening there. We would like to make students conscious of the events in space in a different points of view - scientific, artistic, religious. With this project, students will raise awareness about the distances in the universe, the different space objects, planets and stars, space exploration and the impact on our daily lives and use their creativity in artistic way.

I teach Math in a high secondary level in Greece.  Astronomy is not any more in the curricula but there is a school subject called "Project". I find very interesting Citizen Science! It would be an excellent idea to use some of  the sources in which we have been introduced in a topic about Space. I am going to design such a project in the weekend for my students ages 15-16 for this semester!

I am thinking to collaborate with my colleagues of Foreign Language, Physics and Literature.  I will use iSKY (http://www.space-awareness.org/en/games/isky/) to see the stars and let them know they are far away and try  to understand what a light year actually means. The teaching unit ‘iSky: Smart Measurements of the Heavens’ inspires you to investigate the stars. Students could work using various apps on their smartphone (unfortunatelly not in the classroom as the use of cellphones is for bitten in Greek schools. They can use it for their homework ).They learn how to orientate based on the night sky, how to measure the altitude of the Sun, or how to calculate the circumference of the Earth.It is related with the science of astronomy, the Solar System, stars, mathematics.
Collaborating with a Physics teacher would be wonderful! Math and Physics have so many common things!Energy is one of the most important topics in Physics and this project could open a lot of citizen Science opportunities in relation to environment, renewable energy sources, future of the Earth. We can present the problems in graphs and study the equations of them. (http://www.space-awareness.org/it/activities/1502/lets-break-the-particles/)

Moreover I will definitely use games via Space Awareness website, for example http://www.space-awareness.org/en/games/feel-gravity/ to engage students.

Finally with my collegues of Literature we will get inspiration to write an essay about "Future of the Earth". At the end in Foreign Language Class we will search for songs  in English about SKY, Space, Stars... and translate lyrics.

At the presentation event we can also sing these songs and perform an theatrical scene of a relevant for a few minutes .

This MOOC  made clear to me  that imagination and a good start point for activities  can make possible any  school subject combination! And even more!!  Take part in a contest! as for example (http://www.odysseus-contest.eu/ )
Here is a Greek song: "When you're look down from high above " by  Kostas Xatzis. with  subtitles in english excellent to close the project  about Citizen Science. Excellent music and excellent lyrics!

Citizen Science Introduced during World Space Week 

# data[].attributes.body
This week, I am trying to get my 8/9 year old students familiar with the concept of citizen science by introducing them to some of the projects that fit in with the WSW2016 theme (Remote Sensing).
Since we are making satellites our thing, I have made a presentation explaining how sharing the data collected allows citizens to take part in projects such as Cosmoquest, Cyclone Center, GeoTag-X, Lost at night, the Milky Way Project, WOW and Cerberus.

We are also planning to participate in the Great Star Count later this moth.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I'd like to use the Climate Zone activities because I could use it as a starting point for a CLIL activity with my science colleague or for a speaking activity on almost everything

# data[].attributes.body
After I sign up crowdcrafting I am looking forward to research the ongoing projects ... there are so many and possible to use in the classroom! All projects are very interesting. Already, I can highlight the Galaxy Zoo for application in the seventh grade.

# data[].attributes.body
When I check activities, there are too many good activities. I can use all of them with my students. But especially, I could see “Know your planets”. It is a fun way to learn our planets. And all plans are detailed in this website.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to use this topic to connect students with climate change, the effects of this, the changing states of matter and the Archimedes principle. This is also cross curricular with geography also.

Unfortunately all good stories come to an end, even so for PROBA-V. After more than 6 year of operations of this "gap filler" satellite between SPOT-VEGETATION and Sentinel-3, 2020 marks the end of the operational mission.

PROBA-V's operational lifetime will run until June 30, 2020. This means all daily and 10-daily products will be guaranteed in near-real-time until that date. Let's give you a short update on what will change the upcoming months, before and after June 2020.

Citizen Science is really a chance to involve the students in a real research project. I would like to use some of the ideas I've got learning in this module:  Galaxy Zoo is by far my preferred one. Maybe a contest between students would be the way to introduce the different kinds of galaxy. I must let the ideas settle down to build a learning module on space.
Solar System 3D is a good one too, but it works only on android systems, as far as I got it well. It could be used for a research homework the students can do with their smartphones or tablet.
I think I'll definitely introduce  citizen science in my science course, starting from the first year students.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Citizen Science can be a great opportunity for students. They can work as scientists and involve in STEM careers. May be "WOW" is the right project for my pupils (11-14 years old).

# data[].attributes.body
I think that most of the activities are very interesting. But its difficult to integrate that in the curriculum when you have to prepare students for final exames.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's very important to teach how to start a research. Nowadays young people have a lot of informations but they aren't able to choose which are correct and useful . The teacher has to lead them to the right way, giving them a scientific topic, the right tools but above all  involving them in research activity. The most important part of this work is the international dimension. They can talk to other students and discuss about the  project they are studying .

# data[].attributes.body
Never heard of these projects except Einstein@home. I don't know how I could use these projects with my pupils. i have been to galaxyzoo.org , and I think that we could try to describe two or three galaxies. I will try and then we'll see.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the theme of citizen science is very effective to introduce students to real science. The activity present in Citizen on trips to the red planet and mapping of this could essee very stimulating.

I didn't know about the term "citizen science", but I am glad that I had the opportunity to learn about it. I will try to add activities in my physics lessons.

Introduction

The Solar System, in which we live, consists of the Sun as its central star, eight planets with their moons and several dwarf planets. Together with hundreds of thousands of asteroids (boulders from the size of small pebbles to the size of a dwarf planet) and comets, these celestial bodies orbit the Sun.

The Earth is a very special planet among these celestial bodies. It is our home! In order to understand its uniqueness, students need to compare the Earth to the other planets in the Solar System. The Earth is located about 150 million kilometres from the Sun, giving a temperature that is exactly right for liquid water to be present on the surface, unlike on other planets. This proved crucial for the development of life!

The Solar System as a whole is part of the Milky Way galaxy, a collection of about 200 billion stars that are arranged in a spiral, along with gas and dust. Billions of these stars have planets and these, in turn, have moons. This suggests that we are probably not alone in the Milky Way, but the distances between the stars are so big that a visit to another world would be very difficult.

Even the star nearest to us, Proxima Centauri, is 4.22 light years (i.e., over 40 trillion kilometres) away from us. This is so distant that a journey there would take generations of human lives.

Planets that orbit stars other than our Sun are called extrasolar planets or exoplanets for short. Astronomers have already discovered thousands of these exoplanets and regularly discover more. We can categorise the planets of our Solar System into two types: rocky planets, which are nearest to the Sun and have a solid surface, and gas giants, which are farther from the Sun and are more massive and mainly composed of gas. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars appear in the former category, and Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune make up the latter. Pluto, our formerly outermost planet, has been considered a dwarf planet since 2006. Between Mars and Jupiter is a so-called asteroid belt, which circles the Sun like a ring. It consists of thousands of smaller and larger boulders. The largest of these have their own names, just like the planets. One of them, Ceres, is so large that it is considered a dwarf planet.

The planets

Planets are spherical bodies orbiting a star. They have sufficient mass to have purged their orbits of all larger and smaller boulders thanks to their gravitational pull. Dwarf planets are also spherical and orbit a star, but they have small masses and therefore such weak gravity that they are not capable of attracting smaller boulders in their vicinity. Currently (in 2016) five dwarf planets have been identified: Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake and Eris. Moons are often spherical as well, depending on their size, but they orbit planets.

Each of the planets in our Solar System has very specific features. We have summarised them in the fact files below. The following rule of thumb is valid in the Solar System: small planets lie close to the Sun and are made of solid material, while large planets are farther away from the Sun and are mainly composed of gas. This is not necessarily true for planets around other stars, some of which have planets like Jupiter much closer to their star than Mercury is to the Sun in our Solar System.

Rocky Planets

The four rocky planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) are very dense (solid) and comparatively small. Their atmospheres are very thin or non-existent (Mercury), with the exception of that of Venus.

Mercury

Mercury is the planet nearest to the Sun. It has no atmosphere and its solid surface, like that of our Moon, is covered with many craters. Mercury orbits the Sun once in just 88 days and has no moons. There are severe temperature differences on its surface: 380° C on the side facing the Sun, and -180° C on the night side! This is because day and night shift very slowly on Mercury, because of its slow spin. Also, there is no atmosphere to trap the heat at night.

Credit: NASA

Venus

Venus is about as large as the Earth. Carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) makes up 99% of its atmosphere, which causes sunlight to get trapped in this mega greenhouse. Whether it is day or night, it is always very hot on Venus: almost 500° C! While the other Solar System planets rotate in the same direction, anticlockwise, Venus rotates backwards, clockwise.

Credit: NASA

Earth

Earth is the only planet in the Solar System that has liquid water on its surface, significant amounts of oxygen in the air and moderate temperatures. It orbits the Sun once a year. Its stable axis (inclined 23 degrees) results in seasons. Furthermore, it is the only celestial body on which we have found life so far.

Credit: NASA

Mars

Mars is half the size of the Earth. Its reddish colour is caused by iron oxide (rust). It has a very thin atmosphere, which mainly consists of carbon dioxide. One of its special features is its many extinct volcanoes, which reach heights of up to 22,000 metres! Mars has two very small moons and needs about twice as much time as the Earth to orbit the Sun. Like Earth, it also has seasons, as its rotation axis is inclined.

Credit: NASA

Gas Giants

The 'gas giants' are so-called because they are large compared to other planets and they are composed mostly of gas. They consist of a thick atmosphere and a relatively small solid core.

Jupiter

Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System. Like all giant planets, it mainly consists of gas and has a small solid core and a thin ring system. It has a remarkable red spot on its surface that is twice the size of the Earth! This spot is a huge storm (a cyclone) that has been raging for more than 400 years. It has at least 67 moons (in 2016) and is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium.

Credit: NASA

Saturn

Saturn is surrounded by large rings and therefore earns its nickname 'Lord of the rings'. These rings consist of numerous small ice grains. Saturn's atmosphere has a fairly low density: Saturn is the only planet in the Solar System that could float on water. It has many moons: more than 60 (62 in 2016) and many more unnamed 'moonlets'.

Credit: NASA

Uranus

Uranus has a few thin rings. Its surface looks very smooth and barely shows any structure. It has 27 known moons (2016).

Credit: NASA

Neptune

Neptune's surface has a blue colour, like that of Uranus. White clouds fly over its surface at speeds of over 1000 km/hr. Neptune's path sometimes crosses the orbit of dwarf planet Pluto. The planet has a thin ring system and 14 known moons (2016).

Credit: NASA

Dwarf Planet: Pluto

Pluto is composed of ice and rock. In 2006, astronomers decided that Pluto should no longer be classed as a planet but only a dwarf planet, although it is spherical. Due to its low mass, it cannot attract smaller boulders in its vicinity, as the 'real' planets do. Pluto has one larger and two smaller moons. Currently, in 2016, there are 4 other planets considered as dwarf planets that could be added to the game on an equal standing with Pluto: Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris.

Our knowledge of the Solar System

Astronomy research and tools evolve and improve very quickly. Our knowledge about space including our Solar System is extensive but not complete and it is constantly growing. Therefore, data given in the present resource might become incomplete or inaccurate over time. This might be illustrated with Pluto, considered for many years as the ninth planet of the Solar System and today identified as a dwarf planet.

Many of this can be used also in /with GLOBE  program.

# data[].attributes.body
The citizen Science activity which i wish to use with my students is "Eratosthenes activity"  to determine the circumference and radius of the the Earth.

By participating in this activity , students would be able to share their results with the other students across the Globe which would help in developing International mindedness

This would also help in using ICT skills

# data[].attributes.body
Teaching English as a foreign language I did some lessons on environment and pollution.

# data[].attributes.body
Just for the start on the English lessons we can talk about the environment and weather conditions on Earth and then we can compare them with the condidtions on Mars. We can use WOW which seems to be the simplest one from the ones you have proposed.

I think I could start with WOW. It seems to be easy for young students (4th graders) and interesting. They could feel as scientists and as a part of bigger community.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that collecting data for a real scientific project could be a great idea. I could ask my students to collect data about the weather and insert these data in the platform suggested in the previous module. And then we could create a database and make queries.

There are plenty of resources to use in the classroom indeed, and for every level of education.

In early ages of Primary school I could use

1) ​Galaxy Zoo. There, we could compare galaxies of the past with the galaxies of the present, using vocabulary (Language class)

2) ​Cosmo Quest. In this project, we could mark the circumference of the craters and surface features on high-resolution images of Mars, the Moon, asteroids, and Mercury. As all impacts are almost perfect circles, we could measure and compare (Math class)

3) ​Night Cities ISS. We could look for our city or the capital city of our country (Geography class)

# data[].attributes.body
My students are going to have such fun with this! I have practiced with a few young people and they understood and were faster at using any of the sites for citizen science

# data[].attributes.body
As a Maths teacher I find it difficult to collocate a citizen science activity in my curriculum. But it could be interesting, in order to promote citizen awareness in students, choose a project and devote to it a lesson for each discipline in the curriculum.

# data[].attributes.body
I registered an account for my school in two sites, COSMOQUEST and GALAXY ZOO. In the next weeks I plan to tell my colleagues first (I'm involved in a teacher training programme). Later on I would like to experiment  these resources with students in our classroom.
After some practice to get students confident with the tools, I will organize some group activities.  Maybe some translations will be needed in order to use a ready lesson plan (for example the one about circles measurements)

Great bunch of games & materials...thxxx for sharing them! As a teacher in English to young learners, I'd use the Citizen Science concept regarding to children's language skills. Pupils can learn the names of planets & improve their knowledge about the Solar System. Here's my children's experience regarding to our star - the sun. Enjoy! :)

I find very interesting  Citizen Science.
I have 7 years old students, so I can’t image how can involve them to Space and astronomy's Citizen Science during this year. I can try to involve myself and then I can think how to introduce Space and astronomy's Citizen Science in my school activities. Although I saw some citizen science projects for also young people, they are about animals.

I would like to start with a game like Cerberus in order to motive my students and then go on with something linked to astronomical events.

Every school year I participate with students to the astronomical events like Eratostenes experiment, Space Week, Global Astronomy Month.
