PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE - IT IS ALL IN THE SKY

Description

"The project ""PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE - YOU WILL FIND EVERYTHING IN THE SKY"" will be implemented in the period of 2020 - 2022 by five partner schools from the European Union - Primary School No. 5 from Koszalin (Poland), Scoala Gimnaziala No. 7 from Buzau (Romania), ISTITUTO COMPRENSIVO S. BAGOLINO from Alcamo (Italy), Primary School No. 12 from Drama (Greece) and Osnovna skola Josip Pupacic from Omis (Croatia). We plan activities in which all students and teachers of our schools will be direct participants (mobility and work in project clubs) and indirect participants (dissemination activities, workshops in schools, lessons, etc.). We also plan dissemination activities for parents and local communities. Through dissemination activities (website, Facebook, eTewinning) we will also reach other people related to education in the EU. The main topic of the project is astronomy and all activities will be related to this issue. We plan to divide two years of work into three stages - past, present and future in astronomy. The past is to familiarize all participants of the partnership with the astronomical achievements of ancient Greeks, Sumerians and Egyptians, Copernicus, Galileo and Hevelius, to acquaint with legends about the stories of the creation of the space, the world and stars. All these activities are aimed at comparing the common cultural heritage of Europe and determining the differences and similarities between individual countries and their history in the field of astronomy. The present will focus not only on ongoing sky observation, trips to observatories and planetariums, but also workshop work and expanding participants' knowledge of the solar system, planets and the most interesting stars visible in the sky. Our students will improve their sky photography skills and learn modern technologies that allow people to travel to the moon, to space stations and build satellites. By participating in the Moon photo competition and building models of existing spacecraft, we would like to draw attention to modern technology, the beauty of the sky above our heads and encourage young people to acquire skills that are not usually studied in schools (photography, observations, sky maps, star recognition in the sky, design). The future means working on a vision of life in space presented in literature and film. We will learn about the possibilities of modern technology and man in the field of life on Mars or a space station, see visions of the future in science-fiction films, and create our own space station composed of models prepared by all project participants. The goal of this stage is to encourage our students to take actions to develop creativity and expand astronomical skills in the later stages of education. All activities will be conducted through workshops, joint online or real-time meetings, chats and joint creation of documents and project presentations. All activities will end with the creation of hard results, i.e. a dictionary of astronomical terms in the languages ​​of the project, models of the solar system, space ships, habitats on Mars, a set of legends and stories about the creation of the space, a photo album of the Moon, presentations about partner countries, quizzes, games and competitions on topics whch are not only design, but also EU countries, presentations and videos on discoveries, known astronomers and space. All these studies and works will be used in the future in science, geography, technology, physics, literature and English lessons and will be disseminated to all interested parties. Soft results include improving knowledge of English as the working language of the project, increasing student integration through joint workshop work on the project, expanding knowledge of EU countries, its cultural heritage and human capabilities in space exploration, expanding astronomical knowledge among school students basic and encouraging them to acquire qualifications in this field at future stages of education, increasing self-esteem through independent trips and contacts with students from other countries and sensitizing all project participants to cultural diversity, the need for integration and a sense of belonging to a common group which is the European Union ."
