I-LOFAR CPD Sessions
The I-LOFAR AstroLands Education Team, supported by Science Foundation Ireland and ESERO Ireland, are delighted to be running Online CPD days for Primary Science teachers, delivering interactive workshops and teaching resources to assist teachers in achieving learning outcomes as part of the 5th and 6th class Primary Science curriculum.
In this FREE workshop, participants will explore the Moon in all its wonder – from lunar phases and craters to lunar exploration, moon missions and more!
Topics which will be covered include;
- Topography of the Moon – from it’s formation, to mountains, lunar craters and more!
- Lunar Phases – exploring why the Moon looks different in the sky.
- Moon Missions & Challenges – if you can’t get out for a class tour, why not tour the Moon?!
These will all be approached in a hands-on, interactive format to fully engage students with the topics.
These sessions will take place online via Zoom with all resources including lesson plans, worksheets and notes available to download from our website as well as printable participant packs shared ahead of the sessions.
Numbers are limited to allow for an interactive format with discussion and questions.
A certificate will be provided from Trinity College Dublin to all participants to confirm attendance on this CPD course.
