5.2 How role models impact young people’s space-oriented career choices

# data[].attributes.body
We have 2 known in all world astronomers: Mikołaj Kopernik and Alex Wolszczan. The second one is Polish astronomer who actually works in Pennsylvania, US. All Polish child knows the name of Mirosław Hermaszewski - the first Polish astronaut in the Space.
This year we celebrate World Space Week and our students had possiblity to know astronauts of Polish ancestry, for instance George Zamka.
My duty as a teacher is to encourage my students to interest of space science.  They have to belive that they can do everything. They just have to follow their dreams.

I teach maths in primary school. I can prepare task or exercises about the Solar system, about space flight and many more. My stydents can compare velocity of the space ships, sizes of planets etc.

Next week my students will participate in World Space Week. This is great possibility to talk about space, space knowledge. I planned with my colleagues  - teachers lot's of activities. For example we will create a model of space satelite. It will be our common work. I will involved boys and girls. We will collect information about Polish astronomers (Mikołaj Kopernik and Alex Wolszczan). We will take a photos of Earth from the space thanks to "Sally Ride EarthKAM" - I already invited also parents for this activity. Our students will observe the sky using telescopes. I also prepared kahoot quiz for students and parents about recognizing "space" movies. I hope it will be lot's of fun next week!

Module 4: How to Manage Diversity and Gender Balance in the Classroom

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed stereotypes in my students' thinking, especially gender stereotypes. That's why I try to engage girls in science projects. Lot's of them felt in love in science. In my opinion parents support is very important so I always inform them about our common work or even I invite them to collaboration. It brings good results!
Now I need to show my students that women play very important role in science, that they can do whatever they want and become whoever they want.

New activity for my classroom from The Space Awareness:
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.

How do you currently use technology? What tools do you use?
I am passionate about use of new technology, becouse they help me in teaching and collaboration with other teachers and parents. My students work using Google Drive- they prepare presentations and documents together. We use Padlet and Tricider to share our ideas and comments. We use Calameo to create ebooks, Prezi for presentation, Smilebox and Kizoa to show our work on photos I use Kahoot and I know what my students have learnt during my classes. I use Amara to add subtitles in English on our movies in Polish. I use Twinspeace for eTwinning projects and Edmodo for global collaboration. I use tablets and mobile phone to record my students work - we publish results of our work on YouTube, school webpage and our class blog. I believe that new technologies are amazing tool for teacher and they help us to create awesome students

Let's start building my own inquiry activity:
Orientation - How much money do you need a month to live with your family?
Conceptualization - how to find data, putting some hypothesis about money we need a month
Investigation- collecting data (fro instance bills), making calculations
Conclusion - comparing all calculations with hypothesis
Discussion - preparing presentation with all calculations, graphs

What are the basic steps of the scientific method?
I think the most important is a good question and using knowledge which students already have. It is necessary to engage their to common discuss, give some time for observation and reflection.

I am Maths teacher and sometimes like every teacher I have to spend a little time on lecturing new topics. I teach in primary schools, so my students need more help to understand some content but I always try to develop their skills. I never ask them about content. More important is to understand how to solve some problem. Very important is to engage student to learning and creating. When my student give me wrong answer I try to engage him/her to figure out what is wrong with his/her answer. It helps to learn.
I never pretend I know everything. Nobody knows! My student can be my teacher! It is amazing in my work:)

I think every topic is linked to many subjects. I'd like to start our work on Solar system, for instance we could create model of the system, compare planets, theirs sizes, distance form the sun and their compositions etc. We could preapre school photo galery using photos from NASA or Hubble pictures to show pupls how beauty is the universe.

Space Scoop has materials in Polish so it is easy for students to find something interesting. I'd like to use materials abour Solar system.

A few years ago I found out about NASA educational project "Sally Ride EarthKAM" and I engaged my students to take a picture from the space. Now I'd like to get to know more about teaching about space and astronomy. This is an amazing opportunity to develop so many skills of my students!

I do love teaching. My role as a teache is to develop all skills and talents of my students and I think it is great opportunity to get to know something new:)
