Astronomy@MyBackPack (Greece)

Volos

The advent of free science content on the web opened a whole new area for science education. Students can now learn mathematics, physics, geography, chemistry and other subjects while using real astronomy and space data, available for free on the internet. Participants will be introduced to an efficiently and well tested methodology that relies on the use of such resources to tackle school curriculum content. The programme is built to address the needs of schools ranging from easy access to computers and internet to those still not reached by these devices. The methodology is based in an IBSE approach and range from the manipulation of databases to the construction of observing devices using readily available material.
