The document summarizes a professional collaboration workshop between Chris Sabino (Math) and Gitte Maronde (ELL). It lists the digital tools used - Doodle, Wallwisher, Dropbox, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Forms. It provides an agenda for the workshop which includes using these tools to coordinate tasks, share ideas by adding words to a virtual wall, create a wish list, add birthdays to a calendar, and make a survey form. The document concludes by thanking participants and wrapping up the workshop.
The document discusses the 90/10 principle, which states that 10% of life is made up of external events outside our control, while 90% is determined by our reactions to those events. It provides an example of how reacting negatively to a spilled cup of coffee can ruin the whole day, while responding positively avoids stress and conflict. The key message is that while we cannot control what happens, we can control how we respond, which significantly impacts our experiences. Applying the 90/10 principle by not letting negative external events affect us can result in a more positive and stress-free life.

The document summarizes that the difference between poor and rich countries is not due to age, natural resources, or intellectual ability, but rather the attitudes and principles followed by their people. It lists principles like ethics, integrity, responsibility, respect for laws and others' rights, work ethic, savings, and punctuality that are followed by the majority in rich countries and a minority in poor countries. In conclusion, it states that countries are poor not due to lack of resources or nature, but due to lack of functional attitudes and will to teach these principles that make societies rich and developed.
This newsletter summarizes events for the San Antonio League of Sidewalk Astronomers (SALSA) astronomy club over the next month. It discusses a thruster firing that corrected the trajectory of the New Horizons spacecraft on its journey to Pluto, and recaps halfway points approaching in its voyage. The newsletter also provides background on the misconception that the Moon has a "dark side" that remains permanently dark, clarifying that half the Moon is always illuminated by the Sun at any given time. It promotes supporting the Texas Amateur Astronomer Scholarship and lists SALSA's upcoming calendar of local astronomy events through September.

The Galileo spacecraft performed a gravity assist maneuver at Venus called VEEGA to reach Jupiter. It made many discoveries including the first observations of asteroid moon Dactyl orbiting Ida and volcanic activity on Io. Galileo found evidence for oceans on Europa and Ganymede and observed thunderstorms and lightning on Jupiter over its 7 year mission, before intentionally crashing into Jupiter in 2003 to avoid contaminating moons that could harbor life.

The document provides guidance for evaluating the EU-UNAWE astronomy awareness programme. It outlines domains of learning including motivation, scientific skills, knowledge, and intercultural attitudes. Evaluation methods are suggested to gather evidence from children and teachers. For children, options include pre-and post-activity drawings, observations during games or activities, and optional surveys. For teachers, a survey is provided. The goal is to demonstrate the programme's impacts in a way that combines data from different locations and activities.
Astronomy curricula for different ages and cultural backgroundsJacekKupras
?
This document outlines astronomy curricula for different age groups and cultural backgrounds developed by EUNAWE Germany. It provides guidelines for teaching astronomy concepts to children ages 4-10 in a developmentally appropriate way that links both mythical and scientific thinking. Younger children ages 4-6 focus on observational skills and classification through stories and pretend play. Children ages 6-8 learn about the earth, sun, moon and planets through models and explanations while inspiring curiosity in astronomy. For ages 8-10, the curriculum emphasizes abstract thinking through hands-on observations, models, explanations and biographies of astronomers while introducing more advanced topics like other solar systems. The overall approach aims to foster interest in science, global citizenship and intercultural understanding.
Curiosity is a car-sized Mars rover launching in 2011 to explore Gale Crater using a variety of scientific instruments. It will characterize the planet's geology and climate, assess biological potential, and prepare for future human exploration. Curiosity will use a sky crane maneuver for the first precise landing on Mars and employ a nuclear power source to investigate rocks and soil with tools including cameras, a laser, spectrometers, and a drill. The rover is expected to operate for one Martian year, relaying data to Earth via orbiters to further understand if Mars could have supported microbial life.

1. EarthKAM - Witamy na pok?adzie:)
Jacek Kupras: http://www.djkupras.blogspot.com/2012/01/earthcam-witamy-na-pokadzie.html
Zachowano: I:orbiterch7EarthCamearthcam20120117EarthCam.docx
Dzi?ki przyjacielowi mieli?my przyjemno?? zago?ci? na pok?adzie EarthCam. Dla
przypomnienia - jest to serwis za po?rednictwem kt¨®rego mo?na korzysta?
z aparatu cyfrowego znajduj?cego si? na stacji kosmicznej ISS. Jest nim Nikon
D2Xs sterowany przez laptop Lenovo (IBM) T61p. Opiek? nad serwisem
EarthCam sprawuje zesp¨®? z?o?ony ze student¨®w Uniwersytetu California, San
Diego. Dysponuj? tam oni wydzielonym pomieszczeniem wyposa?onym w
stanowiska komputerowe okre?lanym jako EarthCam Mission Operations Center.
Jego organizacja wzorowana jest na Centrum Kontroli Misji, znajduj?cym
si? Centrum Lot¨®w Kosmicznych im. Lyndona Johnsona. Aby m¨®c wykona?
zdj?cia za po?rednictwem EarthCam konieczna jest rejestracja. Mog? jej
dokona? generalnie osoby zwi?zane z instytucjami edukacyjnymi, przede
wszystkim nauczyciele, warto przy tym zwr¨®ci? uwag? ?e w li?cie Position w formularzu wyst?puje r¨®wnie?
okre?lenie Homeschool Teacher. Najwa?niejsze jest jednak, ?e w projekcie mog? r¨®wnie? uczestniczy? szko?y
i instytucje edukacyjne nie tylko ze Stan¨®w Zjednoczonych, czego najlepszym dowodem jest
screenshoot widoczny poni?ej:
2. Przy okazji serdeczne dzi?ki dla prof. Leszka Mankiewicza za przetarcie ?cie?ki. Wiemy te?, ?e dzi?ki og?oszeniu
przez niego informacji o EarthCam'ie kana?ami EuHou do projektu ostatnio przyst?pi?a co najmniej jedna z
polskich szk¨®?. Nic nie stoi zatem na przeszkodzie aby pr¨®bowa?y tego dokona? nast?pne. Og¨®?em, w ci?gu roku
maj? miejsce cztery misje. Najbli?sza rozpocznie si? 31 stycznia i potrwa do trzeciego lutego b.r. Dobrze jest
zatem pomy?le? o przyst?pieniu do programu ju? teraz.
Opr¨®cz og¨®lnej rejestracji w portalu nale?y dodatkowo rejestrowa? si? do dost?pnej w danym czasie misji. Przy
logowaniu podajemy kr¨®tkie informacje na temat ilo?ci uczni¨®w i nauczycieli oraz opis, jak planujemy wykorzysta?
uzyskane zdj?cia:
Najprawdopodobniej ta dodatkowa rejestracja potrzebna jest po to, aby operatorzy systemu mogli podj?? decyzj?
jak? ilo?? kod¨®w nam przydzieli?. Ka?dy kod umo?liwia wykonanie jednego zdj?cia.
Je?eli pomy?lnie dokonali?my rejestracji, zostaje po logowaniu udost?pniony dost?p do formularza, za
po?rednictwem kt¨®rego okre?lamy co chcemy fotografowa?. Jego najwa?niejszym elementem jest mapa z
naniesionymi orbitami podobna do tej poni?ej:
Dzi?ki temu zaplanowanie, co chcemy sfotografowa? jest do?? proste. Zdj?cia wykonane w trakcie poszczeg¨®lnych
misji s? publicznie dost?pne. Nie trzeba ?adnych uprawnie¨½ by je przegl?da?, wystarczy klikn?? tu by przej?? do
galerii. Mog? by? one wykorzystane w r¨®?ny spos¨®b. Poni?ej zamieszczam przyk?ad pochodz?cy z galerii Annotated
images z naniesionymi przez uczni¨®w opisami:
3. Warto te? zwr¨®ci? uwag?, ?e zdj?cia s? przechowywane w r¨®?nych rozdzielczo?ciach, z kt¨®rych w tym przypadku
pierwotn? by?a 1530x1013 pikseli - zdj?cie wykonano bowiem jeszcze w 2007r.
Swoim zwyczajem pomyszkowa?em nieco po historii projektu. Zosta?a ona pokr¨®tce opisana tutaj, gdzie jako pocz?tek
podaje si? rok 1995. Wszystko zacz??o si? jednak nieco wcze?niej, gdy w 1993r., w ramach misji STS 57 na orbicie
znalaz? si? zestaw GeoCam:
Sk?ada? si? on z czterech aparat¨®w fotograficznych, za?adowanych tradycyjnymi filmami. Umieszczone zosta?y one w
hermetycznym pojemniku w ?adowni wahad?owca Endeavour i by? obs?ugiwany r?cznie z przez jednego z cz?onk¨®w
za?ogi:
Wyborem cel¨®w kt¨®re mia?y by? fotografowane zajmowali si? uczniowie znajduj?cy si? w biurze meteo bazy
powietrznej Charleston:
4. Og¨®?em wytypowano 11 cel¨®w zdj?cia za? wywo?ano po powrocie wahad?owca na Ziemi?. Wszystkie informacje oraz
powy?sze zdj?cia znalaz?em na stronach projektu Can Do.
Powodzenie GeoCamu spowodowa?o przekszta?cenie go w 1995r. w projekt
KidSat. Kluczow? rol? w jego zainicjowaniu odegra?a widoczna po lewej
stronie Sally Ride, zdj?cia wykonywano w ramach misji STS 76, 81 i 86. W 1998,
program zmieni? nazw? na EarthKAM, goszcz?c na pok?adach wahad?owc¨®w misji
STS 89 i 99, za? w 2001r. aparat do wykonywania zdj?? umieszczono na
pok?adzie stacji ISS w ramach Ekspedycji 1. Tyle historii.
Na zako¨½czenie chcia?bym doda?, ?e bez wzgl?du na to czy si? rejestrujemy czy
nie, mo?emy odwiedzi? serwis programu. Logowania wymagaj? jedynie sekcje
s?u??ce do zamawiania zdj?? - reszta jest dost?pna publicznie. Znajdziemy tam
mi?dzy innymi: materia?y edukacyjne, galeri?, przyk?adowe prezentacje uczni¨®w.
Nie jest to kompletne archiwum, lecz raczej reprezentatywne pr¨®bki pokazuj?ce
to, co w ramach projektu da si? zrobi?.
Nie tak dawno opisywa?em, jak dzieciaki z dw¨®ch polskich szk¨®? rozmawia?y z
za?og? ISS za po?rednictwem ??czno?ci kr¨®tkofalowej. Wspominali?my
r¨®wnie? o Centrum Challengera, kt¨®rego polska edycja zago?ci?a na EuHou.
EarthCam wpisuje si? w ten nurt i warto z niego skorzysta?, bez wzgl?du na ilo?? godzin geografii tygodniowo;)
