Q1: No.
Q2: It is amazing to be able to see behind the curtain.
Q3: The kids are very curious and interested but they lack the mathematical backgroung to have a correct undertanding of the fenomenon.
Q4: yes, i have done so within my abilities.
Q5: constrution of the equipament for demonstrating the metaphor of Einstein's gravitation

If school has a Science or Astronomy Club...

orionchem — 2021-07-13 10:02:58 UTC

If curriculum had this topic...

orionchem — 2021-07-13 10:05:15 UTC

This is a good application to students can see some application:

orionchem — 2021-07-13 10:06:14 UTC

PHYSICS IS USEFUL! Is real and is important

I learned a lot

orionchem — 2021-07-13 10:11:40 UTC

Yes, an introduction by Dr Anastopoulos Prof. of Univ. of Patras.

stellaklav — 2021-07-13 12:12:49 UTC

Yes, it was an intresting day.

stellaklav — 2021-07-13 12:14:54 UTC

Experiments and useful details about gw

stellaklav — 2021-07-13 12:15:46 UTC

I think we can do it in the 12th grade

stellaklav — 2021-07-13 12:16:28 UTC

R: When the first direct detection of gravitational waves was achieved in 2015, the students were of course very interested, so we were talking about it sometimes.

2021-07-13 12:17:23 UTC

stellaklav — 2021-07-13 12:17:41 UTC

In a project I could do the Space Time Quest after the Kichelson experiment.

I remember I talked about it in one class, in 2015 when the news came out. But i didn't know much back then.

F Salinas

2021-07-13 12:20:47 UTC

I was very amused about the resources that are available.

R: Very nice Analogies, especially with the Coke and the Ocean.

2021-07-13 12:22:10 UTC

F Salinas

2021-07-13 12:22:50 UTC

That there are different topics that we can work out in class using GW; the pendulum, the spectrum to represent waves, relativity, graph analysis, noise

R: That the proof is incredibly difficult and incredibly impressive.

2021-07-13 12:23:43 UTC

R: Absolutely because the students are incredibly interested in the phenomenon.

2021-07-13 12:25:24 UTC

R: We will refer to this as an application of the Michelson interferometer.

2021-07-13 12:30:46 UTC

I do, students are curious and I think they will enjoy.

F Salinas

2021-07-13 12:35:44 UTC

I would like to work with thwm the chirp mass demosntrator and the Garvity spy to classify Glinches.

No, But I have showed then the

Gayathri De Silva

2021-07-14 01:03:57 UTC

No, But I have talk about the it and take students a LIGO India, mind craft virtual tour. I never talk about gravitational waves in this deep.

Great session and you explain all the sensitive areas very simple manner.

2021-07-14 01:06:34 UTC

Basic theories ( Eg. Simple pendulum) in physics we teach in the classroom are applied for major research and how frequency temperature ..... applied for gravitational wave detections. Inferometer great

2021-07-14 01:07:37 UTC

Yes, Today I have a class for Advance level students. I am teaching waves now. I will give a brief introduction about it. Thanks

2021-07-14 01:10:47 UTC

I am so much interested in the interferometer and space time quest. I will try to build the interferometer. In Sri Lanka our students never had such opportunities to learn. Our children are open to exam bas learning not inquiry base learning. Sorry for that.

Q1- no

Alina Lazar, Romania

alinalazar2013 — 2021-07-14 03:54:39 UTC

Like yesterday, and today I found out a lot of information, I admired the work done to make the presentations ... congratulations!

Virtual tours

Venetia Krompa, Greece

sci_class — 2021-07-14 04:19:22 UTC

Just an introductory presentation on GW and Virgo, as a teaser for a project proposal.

Venetia Krompa, Greece

sci_class — 2021-07-14 04:23:58 UTC

Wonderful experience - great teaching ideas - useful educational material.

Venetia Krompa, Greece

sci_class — 2021-07-14 04:27:00 UTC

How we can use light interference to measure distances with high precision.

Venetia Krompa, Greece

sci_class — 2021-07-14 04:28:13 UTC

Yes, I believe so.

Venetia Krompa, Greece

sci_class — 2021-07-14 04:32:58 UTC

I intent to propose different project ideas to my students and they will choose the subject they want to get involved in. The Pendulum - Gravitational Wave detection and Investigating the Michelson Interferometer will be among them. Also a virtual visit to Virgo is sth they are certain to enjoy.

Jasenka Celić

jasenkacelic — 2021-07-14 06:23:33 UTC

Q1: Yes
Q2: Great, I learned a lot. It was interesting.
Q3: How basic physical experiment can be used for explaning moderan theories in Physics.
Q4: Yes and student would like it.
Q5: The chirp mass demonstrator, pendulum and interferometar

Isabel, Spain

2021-07-14 07:10:12 UTC

Q1: Yes, but not as a main topic. When students learn about Einstein´s general relativity, I use a space-time simulator. Then, once they understand what gravity is, they are introduced to gravitational waves and LIGO and Virgo.

Isabel, Spain

2021-07-14 07:13:26 UTC

Q2: I wasn´t able to attend all the morning, but the virtual visit to Virgo was very interesting, despite the explanations were too technical to me, but I really liked it.

Isabel, Spain

2021-07-14 07:16:18 UTC

Q3: Gravitational waves are waves that travel through the space tissue as a consequence of events like explossions (like the water waves behave when throwing a stone in the water) and their existence is a proof of Einstein´s theory.

Q1. No

2021-07-14 08:16:14 UTC

Karolina Damjanoska
Q. 2 I couldn't participate because I was busy, but I studied the presentation and watched the videos and I realized that this is very useful material for me and I will use it in my teaching physics with students

Michelson interferometer

Panagiotis, Greece

pagkanakis — 2021-07-14 14:12:09 UTC

Νo, unfortunately the teaching of waves has been quite limited in my country.

Panagiotis, Greece

pagkanakis — 2021-07-14 14:14:20 UTC

I like it very much!

Panagiotis, Greece

pagkanakis — 2021-07-14 14:14:52 UTC

Yes, I saw a lot of interesting applications that I can use.

Panagiotis, Greece

pagkanakis — 2021-07-14 14:16:28 UTC

Gravitational Wave Noise Hunting and Michelson Interferometer. I was thrilled when I saw those two.

Panagiotis, Greece

pagkanakis — 2021-07-14 14:17:30 UTC

Hunting gravitational waves is fun

No

2021-07-15 01:45:29 UTC

Very informative
