Spinning the Moon Bad Astronomy: The Moon only shows one face to us because it is not rotating. Better astronomy: The Moon only shows one face because it is rotating, once every time it revolves around the Earth. Best astronomy: The Moon does not appear to rotate in the reference frame where the Earth-Moon line is fixed in direction, but it does rotate as seen by an outside observer. Image of the Earth and Moon taken in 1994 by NASA's Galileo spacecraft, on its way to Jupiter. How it works: If you go out on several different nights and look at the Moon, you will always see the same features, at about the same position. It looks as if the Moon doesn't rotate!
This can be seen using a model. Surprise! Now, I have been a bit tricky here. We've actually learned three things: There is a bit more to this story. The next question is why does the Moon only show one face to the Earth? Earth The Power Of The Planet - Atmosphere. Practical Action | Technology challenging poverty. Fears, Rules, Words, Questions « Teaching Science. A quick lesson description here; I’ve been far too focused on political stuff recently. I thought I’d blogged this before, but apparently not. (And while I’m reviewing – 120 posts. Yeah, really.) Anyway. Stop giggling at the back there! This is my approach to starting off what can be a challenging topic. Fears “What might make a student nervous about this topic?”
Rules I remind the students of the rules we have agreed and followed all year. Words I write ‘F***’ on the board, with asterisks, and explain over the gasps and giggles that we all know which word this is. I then circle the ‘polite’ words and explain that we can consider these as ‘classroom English’. Important: clean the board very thoroughly. :) Questions I give each student a piece of paper and ask them to spread out, as if doing a test. Comments? Obviously this is only one way to start a topic which is guaranteed to get some giggles. Like this: Like Loading... Public Dialogue: Sciencewise-ERC. UPD8. Mindsets online.

We aim to influence education policy and practice, ensuring all young people develop the understanding and skills required to play an informed role in society.
We also support the development and progression of young scientists and social scientists. Our current focus is on primary education, secondary education transitions, and science and mathematics education. This includes projects relating to speech and language impairments and interventions to address them across all age groups. We are also interested in Early Years Education and Childcare, for which we have a separate programme. In recent years, we have also funded projects on student parents and women's education. We support research and its translation into policy and practice.
You can find out more about research projects on the our work in this area section of this page. We have also developed resources and approaches that exemplify effective educational practice. We also enable and contribute to policy debates. Education. Exploratorium: the museum of science, art and human perception.
