In this project every team explores different aspect of comets. Pupils make research and exercises in their language and after each Task prepare a product in English (presenattion, video, image). 

Presetation of schools.

Each school prepares a Twinspace Page about the institution and the project members.

Phase 1: Scientific tasks. 31th May - 6 June

The Polish group.

Wednesday. Scientific Task 1: The meeting with a scientist - Mr. Ryszard Gabryszewski from The Space Research Center.

• "Dangerous planetoids" - lecture and discussion
• Product: a list of topics interesting for the pupils and of questions to be answered during this phase of the project.

Thursday. Scientific Task 2: The Solar System, Kepler's Laws, orbits. 

• Wroking process: students make 3 exercises
• Product: Formative interactive assessment with every student's answers.

Friday. Scientific Task 3: Visiting comets. 

• Working process: pupils watch "The adventures of Rosetta and Philae" and make interactive exercises about the structure of comets. They discuss about the purpose of research.
• Product: Mind map about comets.

Saturday. Scientific Task 4: DIY Comet simulation 

• Working process: students do exercises about the journey of comets around the Sun
• Product: stop-motion animations about the journey of chosen (or imaginary) comets around the Sun

Sunday. Scientific Task 5: Comets' obsevations.

• working process: each student chooses one comet and makes a research about when and where it was seen from the Earth
• Product: a table with dates of comets' observations.

Monday: Scientific Task 6: The group's meeting.

• Working process: discussion
• Product: aswers for the questions asked in Task 1.

Tuesday. Scientific Task 7: Conclusion of the week.

• working Process: presenting all the products to Mr. Gabryszewski via Twinspace
• Product: evaluation by the scientist, presetation of all the results

Phase 2: Comets in history. 20. - 25. July

The German group.

Access: - Studying and discussing the Astronomy group's results

Historical Task 1: - Researching historical sources (ancient, medieval, modern) relating and

                                 concerning to observed comets

                               > Recording the results

Historical Task 2: - Analysing the sources referring to a certain perception that is connected with

                                 comets

                                - a special attention will be directed to the superstitious component that was/is

                                  connected with comets

                                > Stucturing the results referring time and perception

 

Final: - Realize and implement a digital presentation of the contemplation

 

Students from both schools watch their work's products and share comments.
