Astronomy curricula for different ages and cultural backgroundsJacekKuprasThis 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.

4. „Mój projekt jest przedsięwzięciem prywatnym. Mógł się rozpocząć dzięki wsparciu -
duchowemu i wielokrotnie bardzo merytorycznemu - oraz wielkiej wyrozumiałości
rodziny: kochanych i wspaniałych żony i dzieci, w tym przede wszystkim mojej
najmłodszej córki Ani. Czas pokaże, jak długo projekt będzie trwał i czy będzie się
rozwijał. Zależy to także trochę od tego, z jakim i z jak licznym spotka się odbiorem.” – to
cytat ze strony Marka Pawłowskiego, To tylko fizyka. Emisja jednego z filmów
znajdujących się na tej stronie poprzedziła otwarcie konferencji.
6. Dalszą część konferencji poprowadził widoczny powyżej dr hab. Lech Mankiewicz
z EU-Hou oraz Jan Pomierny z Astronomia.pl. Ponieważ moje zdjęcia okazały się do
bani, pozwoliłem sobie w dalszej części tej prezentacji zamieścić zrzuty ekranowe ze
wszystkich stron internetowych które omówiono w trakcie wykładu. Z każdą
z zamieszczonych grafik powiązane jest hiperłącze prowadzone do odpowiedniej strony.
8. Zanim wyjdziemy z Galileoskopem „wieczorową porą” warto pobawić się z nim za dnia
przy pomocy zestawu chociażby takiego jak ten powyżej.
Dzięki temu bliżej poznamy zalety i ograniczenia tej lunetki oraz przetrenujemy
posługiwanie się nią. Możemy również łatwo zaaranżować szereg zabaw, łatwiejszych
do przeprowadzenia w warunkach dziennych niż nocnych. Pierwszy
z brzegu przykład który nasuwa mi się na myśl: zawody, kto rozpozna więcej obiektów
chociażby z listy Messiera.
41. W trakcie warsztatu demonstrowano wykonanie
prostego spektroskopu. To właśnie jego działanie testują
widoczni powyżej nauczyciele.
52. Po konferencji i warsztatach miała miejsce projekcja filmu. Kliknięcie w powyższą
grafikę zaprowadzi do poświęconej mu anglojęzycznej strony. Natomiast w dalszej
części tej prezentacji zebrałem trochę pomysłów umożliwiających przeprowadzenie
dodatkowych zabaw nawiązujących do filmu oraz słynnego teleskopu.
53. 1. Antena komunikacyjna
2. Klapa
3. Osłona przed światłem
4. Drugie lustro
5. Główne lustro
6. Sekcja narzędziowa
7. Fine-guidance optical

Spotkanie z teleskopem dobrze jest rozpocząć od odwiedzenia Wikipedii. To właśnie
stamtąd pochodzi widoczny powyżej schemat.
54. W Wikipedii znajdziemy również informacje o promie Atlantis oraz misji STS-125.
Tutaj chciałbym polecić jeszcze obowiązkową wizytę na portalu astro4you, gdzie
misja była komentowana na bieżąco.
55. Najlepsze, edukacyjne projekty poświęcone teleskopowi Hubble’a znajdują się na
stronie http://topstars.strategies.org/ .
56. Własny pomysł na plakietkę zawierającą logo misji możemy zrealizować przy
pomocy apletu znajdującego się na http://www.imax.com/hubble/.
57. Odkryciom dokonanym przez teleskop poświęcony jest seans w znajdującym się
w Second Life Planetarium Carleon.
60. Historia teleskopu Hubble’a „w pigułce”, poczynając od pierwszych prac
koncepcyjnych kończąc zaś na misji STS 125 została opowiedziana na stronie
http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/Hubble20/
61. Widoczny powyżej schemat teleskopu pochodzi ze strony Space Observatories in
School. Znaleźć tam można również parę ciekawych zadań.
62. Wspomnianej w filmie Mgławicy Oriona możemy się bliżej przyjrzeć za pomocą
prezentacji flash znajdującej się na stronie http://hubblesite.org/gallery/tours/ .
63. Zdjęcia wykonane przez teleskop Hubble’a mogą być inspiracją do różnorodnych
prac plastycznych.
64. Tutaj z kolei widać teleskop Hubble’a znajdujący się w podstawowej dystrybucji
Celestii.
66. Jeszcze jeden „Hubbel” Jestra. Tym razem pochodzący z Podróży z Celestią
Franka Gregorio.
67. No i na koniec, kliknięcie w powyższą grafikę spowoduje przeniesienie do tekstu,
gdzie podsumowałem notatki poświęcone opowiedzianej w filmie misji STS-125.
Można tam znaleźć informacje tym, jak wykonać model teleskopu, są odnośniki do
poświęconych misji stron, są wreszcie informacje o tym, jak bawić się w symulacje
naśladujące poszczególne fazy misji przy pomocy chociażby Orbitera.
