COSMOS Added Value

• COSMOS demonstrating the way for the unification of the existing tools and on-line materials of a network of observatories and research institutions and at offering students and teachers unique educational resources to as the sky is a vast and unique laboratory of science, always in operation, accessible at all times from everybody from everywhere, where all sorts of interesting physical phenomena take place most of which is impossible to reproduce in any scientific laboratory.

BB The teacher receives a “learning pathway” suggestion from the system

We suggest the following learning pathway:

Uniform Circular Motion (Lesson Plan, duration 1h)

Measurement of the Solar Rotation(D-Space activity, duration 1h)

Rotation of a spiral galaxy(Reading material and FITS images, duration 30 min)

Suggested further reading(Collection of links)

•Required information– Data from observations of sunspots in the optical light from Galileo and in the present time– Sunspots images from the internet.–The data can be found in the recommended links.

•Stages of Project– Measurement of coordinates of the sunspots in Galileo’s sketches by Microsoft PhotoEditor or Photoshop and estimation of the rotation period of the sun in his time. – Measurement of coordinates of the sunspots for current observations. – Comparison of the rotation periods and the predominant sunspots position from Galileo’s observation till now. – The differential rotation should be taken into consideration. – Summary of the project.

Recommended site (general knowledge)http://www.exploratorium.edu/sunspots/index.html

Recommended sites for Data- Background and general information.Optical Pictures from the Satellite SOHO OBSERVATORY: http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/soho - sunspots observations from the Hawaii observatory - sunspots in real time from the COSMOS service



The Rotation of the Sun,

from Galileo to the present time •Aims

–To compare Galileo’s observations of the sun’s rotation from 400 years ago to recent observations. –To check any changes during the 400 years and describe them, if found. –To explain the reasons for these changes, if found.

•Objects –Sunspots and the solar rotation.

•The Research Question–What are the changes in the sun’s rotation over the 400 years from Galileo to the present.

•General Knowledge–Historical Background: The history of science in Galileo's time.

•Background in Physics: –Mechanics: –rotation, angular motion and rotation period, conserving of angular momentum. –Electricity and Magnetism: Electric fields and currents, magnetic fields, Ohm’s Law, Faraday’s Law.

•Astronomical Background: –The structure of the sun. –The origin of solar energy. –The propagation of solar energy outwards from the center. –The origin of magnetic fields in the sun.

•Mathematics and computer background: –Algebra, Spherical geometry, trigonometry, EXCEL.



Creating effective links between schools and the research

community



Collaborative Learning and community development“George Paterakis is teaching Astronomy. Today he is preparing

a lecture on Uranus and its satellites, and he is revisiting his slides from last year. He knows that during the last year, on the 14th of August a unique phenomenon of the eclipse of Oberon from Umbriel took place and he would like to include this information to his presentation. To do so, he is searching in the COSMOS repository and locating an expert in the field, Apostolos Christou who works at Armagh Observatory. Now he is contacting Christou and asks him if he can find and send him more information and audiovisual material about this event. Christou has observed this event and he has detailed information". Then each scenario can identify a number of challenges for the particular context, that COSMOS should aim to address (e.g. to offer George a way to find such case studies and information online).



Digital Content on COSMOS (July 2010)

COSMOS in 100HA project



Expanding the user community in Rural Schools across Europe



I think the classroom can help. It is up to schools, and to allinitiatives that can educate, including reliable Internet

sites, toensure that young people gradually acquire the correctunderstanding of scientific procedure. A most difficult task,Because even knowledge transmitted by schools is often depositedin the memory like a sequence of miraculous episodes: MadameCurie who come home one evening and discovers radioactivitythanks to a mark on a sheet of paper, ......Galileo who sees a lampswaying and suddenly discovers everything, even that the worldrotates…It is the duty of a man of learning not only to doscrupulous research but also to present his knowledgeeffectively. Scientists sometimes still feel it’s not dignified

totake an interest in popularization, although masters in the

fieldinclude Einstein and Heisenberg. But if we are to teach a nonmagical view of science, we

cannotexpect it to come from the mass media. The scientificcommunity itself must construct it bit by bit in the

collectiveawareness, starting with the young.
