Comenius "Dive in the Sky"

1. Turkey
Dive in the sky

2. First, thanks for the
hospitality in Austria.It
was a good
opportunity for the
teachers and students
to know different
cultures.

3. We made a program. Our first goal was to create
awareness about light pollution. So we decided to create a
Comenius team. Our teachers, Yücel Şolpan, Gürdes Sever
and Güzel Erdem decided to join as a volunteer. We did our
previous calendar activities to gain more awareness of the
project and to determine our students who will take active
roles in the light pollution contest.

4. First, astronaut outfit design contest was organized.
Students researched astronaut suit and their properties. This
contest attracted the attention of students and their families.
Thus the first awareness of the subject was created. As a
result of this competition, the first student was chosen to
participate the Comenius team and this mobility. Canpolat
DOĞRAY was the winner of the contest.

5. The second
competition was to
make the model the
three-dimensional
space. They learnt
about stars, sun and
stars, planets. Melih
Bekay was the winner .

6. Our third contest was to make the three-
dimensional space shuttle. Students explored
the properties of the space shuttle

7. Our teacher told them how to make balloon rocket experiments aim
and result. They learnt relation between balloon rocket and a real
rocket. They undertand it's all about the air...and thrust. As the air
rushes out of the balloon, it creates a forward motion called THRUST.
Thrust is a pushing force created by energy. In the balloon
experiment, our thrust comes from the energy of the balloon forcing
the air out. Different sizes and shapes of balloon will create more or
less thrust. In a real rocket, thrust is created by the force of burning
rocket fuel as it blasts from the rockets engine - as the engines blast
down, the rocket goes up!

8. In the light of the results of the
competition, our students who
took an active role in light
pollution contest were chosen.
After the contests, we took an
action to learn more about light
pollution.
In this study, our school
collaborated with Eskişehir
Anadolu University Physics
Department Faculty Member
Bülent Aslan in order to create
the right product and the right
workflow. Measurement is made
by project’s students at the time
of the favorable sky with Sky
Quality Meter –SQM

9. All teachers have been informed about light pollution. We wanted all third and
fourth grades to take photos of bad lights in Eskişehir.

11. We collaborated with
local media to attract
more attention.Our
events took part in even
Belgium newspaper.

12. GÜLSENA DEMİRCAN AND HER FİREND’S MAKE THİS PROJECT
We decided to prepare two kinds of maps.
This one was made of taken photos .

13. The other was more complicated..
We learnt how to measure light
pollution. So when the condition was
avaible we measured it. After
measuring it we created our map

14. The

15. We prepared light pollution corner to create
interest

16. We want to take real photos of sun and planets. We are
going to have this opportunity in May and June.
Our other activity was to prepare a dictionary. Thanks to
Nelson he prepared for us and we added some words. We
wanted each students to choose five words about sky in
order to create awareness on Dive in the sky. Our team
chose the most common 25 words to include the
dictionary. So this process was a little long.
We wanted all students to do a research about a famous
Turkish scientists and explain him/ her by drawing Picture
in order to continue the cartoon.

17. We visited space house in order to
get more information

18. Finally, we held a logo contest .
Thanks for your attention.
