The Arcetri Astrophysical Observatory in Italy conducts many outreach activities including day and night visits, planetarium lectures attracting 13,000 people per year, open days and special events attracting 1,000 people per year, and education activities for teachers, students, and parents. A key attraction is the restored 1866 Amici Telescope which allows views of the moon, Saturn's rings, Jupiter's moons, nebulae, comets, and other astronomical objects on clear nights. The observatory also has an open air theatre and a scale model of the solar system. Special projects include an international program called "The Sky Over China" which uses astronomy and sky mythology to promote cross-cultural understanding among children
Playing with Protons is an education initiative led by the CMS experiment at CERN bringing together primary school teachers, science education specialists and CERN researchers to develop creative approaches to helping all primary students engage effectively in physics, discovery and innovation. The project manager is Dr. Angelos Alexopoulos Education and Outreach officer of the CMS Experiment at CERN.
The pedagogical coordinator is the Physicist of the Hill Memorial School, Tina Nantsou.
For 3 consecutive years since 2016 there have been Public Primary School Teachers Professional Development Courses held at CERN to utilise creative methodologies to develop educational scenarios and lesson plans for enhancing physics teaching and learning.
This presentation was presented in CREATIONS summer school 2018 as part of a hands-on Playing with Protons workshop on scientific inquiry, astronomy, cosmology and Elementary Particles and LHC technology workshop. This is part 3.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

find a satellite when it was lost.
Level 2: Not only did Sally help to create a special robot arm - she was
also the first person to use it when retrieving a satellite.
Level 3: Not only did Sally help to create a specialised robot arm; she
was also the first person to use it when retrieving a satellite during
her first mission.
7. The future
Children in our trial schools are currently working on projects
including animations, artwork and non-fiction projects to share in
our gallery.
The website will have three different display options to make it
more suitable for different groups,.

37. Main alliances with other programs to complement UNAWE Network of
Teachers at Venezuela
• Eratóstenes-UNAWE Andean Countrys Project:
In which thousands of children across America, as Eratosthenes did 2300
years ago, using the shadow cast by a stick vertically or Gnomon, and
basic geometry, calculate the size of the earth
• The Galileoscope
Venezuela, through its national UNAWE program, was favored with te
donation of 250 Galileoscopes by the IAU, these were donated to schools
that have developed activities UNAWE program as a stimulus to its
mystique and effort
c) Partnership with the GALILEO Teachers Training Program, in that instance we
have realized 7 GTTP Workshops since the 1st realized the 1 and 2 February
2011, in which we scheduled with international coordinators USA (Karl
Pennypaker UC Berkeley) and Europe (Rosa Doran, a member of educational
commissions UAI) holding the First Video-Workshop GTTP UNAWE with
outstanding teachers in Venezuela, the others have been developed at Mérida,
Monagas and Caracas
38. An for 2013-2014 we are developing at UNAWE-Venezuela
The School Planetariums Workshop
• Build a basic UNAWE-School Planetarium for outreach in science, astronomy and
technologies. It include a basic pinhole star projector the possibility of attach a video projector
for multimedia shows, and the building a 6m cardboard geodesic dome for 25 children.
• Work together with science centers in schools in order to the children with his teachers
manage the planetarium
• The goal is that each teacher develop a new planetarium at his school, so we hope the
development of at least 10 planetariums per workshop, now we have developed 4 workshops,
and now there are constructing at least 20 new planetariums

• require login,
• are cluttered,
• are hard to navigate/find resources,
• have content with highly variable quality,
• have limited content review,
• are restricted in languages,
• are not maintained/updated.
49. What is astroEDU?
astroEDU makes the best astronomy activities
accessible to educators around the world.
astroEDU is the first platform of peer-reviewed
astronomy educational activities.
astroEDU is a platform for educators to discover,
review, distribute, improve, and remix educational
astronomy activities.
