With an inflatable planetarium in tow, the NCCR PlanetS and the Center for Space and Habitability at the University of Bern visited the Physics Olympiad camp in Reconvilier. You can read what the participants learned in two articles:
In this latest article, Physics Olympiad volunteer Jehan also explains how to demonstrate gravity and how to pass on knowledge about space with a table, a piece of cloth and a few balls.
In addition, the PlanetS website already offers a whole range of materials and advice for teachers:
In the future, the offers will be expanded to cover more topics in physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology and astronomy.
