Sun|trek : Here Comes the Sun

“阳光之旅：太阳来了”项目将利用HEM目前活动的多样性，为她与学校的合作留下持久的遗产。该项目将与Heather MacRae （Ideas Foundation, Venture Thinking, multimedia Space, MissionX, Space2Earth project）合作进行，她将在教育和创意艺术领域提供交流机会。主要目的是为较年轻的年龄组开发和提供一套关于太阳的五个重点资源，主要是初级KS2，但也有KS3。这是激发孩子对科学的兴趣和通过跨课程活动利用孩子想象力的关键年龄。该项目特别旨在将科学与艺术（STEAM）联系起来，帮助孩子们了解太阳和空间观测如何有助于更好地了解我们在宇宙中的位置。这个项目将超越可见，探索我们可以在其他波长（如红外线、无线电、紫外线、x射线）探测到的东西，并探索假彩色图像的概念，并有机会激发抽象艺术。自然会偏向太阳及其与地球的相互作用，但天文学和空间科学的其他领域也将包括在内。这些资源将探讨一些相关科学家（如伽利略、牛顿、爱因斯坦、赫歇尔、塞奇、安妮·蒙德）的工作，并介绍一些来自太阳物理界的当代榜样，特别是女性。顾问艺术家和教师将参与这个项目。确定的五个太阳主题是：a)光的颜色（太阳辐射，伽利略，太阳黑子，安妮·蒙德，牛顿，光学，地球观测，极光，太阳风暴，光谱）b)超越彩虹（红外线，热图像，赫歇尔，无线电通信，紫外线和x射线，紫外线防护，紫外线珠，地球和空间观测）c)重力和轨道（伽利略，牛顿，卫星，轨道，SoHO， STEREO，太阳轨道器）d)在地球和空间利用太阳能；e)光明和黑暗（白天和黑夜、季节、国际空间站轨道、太阳援助、日晷、日食）新的资源和额外的材料（包括儿童艺术作品、学校活动和展览）将在Sun|trek （www.suntrek.org）网站上发布。这些资源将重点介绍STFC资助的太阳能研究和研究人员。太阳b|跋涉网站将更新和增强，特别是学校和教师的界面。这些资源还将链接到其他网站，如MediaSpaceUK （www.mediaspaceuk.co.uk）、ESERO、STEM和Space2Earth网站（www.spacetoearthchallenge.org.uk），该网站与蒂姆·皮克在国际空间站的飞行（2015年12月至2016年6月）密切相关。该项目将在教师会议和持续专业进修会议上展示。其他太阳能研究人员和研究生也将被鼓励参加。HEM的联系网络、公开讲座、社交媒体、电视和广播活动将确保该项目达到更广泛的范围。

The 'Sun|trek: Here Comes the Sun' project will capitalise on the diverse range of HEM's current activities to develop a lasting legacy of her work with schools. The project will be carried out in partnership with Heather MacRae (Ideas Foundation, Venture Thinking, Multi-Media Space, MissionX, Space2Earth Project), who will provide networking opportunities in the educational and creative arts sectors. The main aim is to develop and deliver a set of five focussed resources about the Sun for the younger age group, mainly primary KS2, but also KS3. This is a key age for exciting an interest in science and harnessing the children's imagination through cross-curriculum activities. The project would aim, in particular, to link science with the arts (STEAM) to help children appreciate how the Sun, and space observations contribute to a better understanding of our place in the universe. This project will go beyond the visible and explore what we can detect at other wavelengths (eg infrared, radio, UV, X-rays) and the concept of false colour images will be explored, with the opportunity to inspire abstract art. There will be a natural bias towards the Sun and its interaction with the Earth, but other areas of astronomy and space science will be included. The resources will explore the work of a some relevant scientists (eg Galileo, Newton, Einstein, Herschel, Fr Secchi, Annie Maunder) and also present some contemporary role models from the solar physics community, in particular females. Consultant artists and teachers will be engaged to work on this project.The five solar themes identified are:a) Colours of light (Sun's radiation, Galileo, sunspots, Annie Maunder, Newton, Opticks, Earth observations, aurorae, solar storms, spectra) b) Beyond the rainbow (Infra-red, thermal images, Herschel, radio communications, UV and X-rays, protection from UV, UV beads, Earth and space observations) c) Gravity and orbits (Galileo, Newton, satellites, orbits, SoHO, STEREO, Solar Orbiter) d) Harnessing solar energy on Earth and in Space; shine like a star (Einstein, photo-electric effect, nuclear fusion, solar farms, solar panels in space, ISS, space observatories) e) Light and dark (day and night, seasons, ISS orbit, Solar Aid, sundials, eclipses)The new resources and additional material (including children's art work, school activities and exhibitions) will be hosted on the Sun|trek (www.suntrek.org) website. The resources will highlight STFC funded solar research and researchers.The Sun|trek site will be updated and enhanced, in particular the interface for schools and teachers. The resources will also be linked to other websites, such as MediaSpaceUK (www.mediaspaceuk.co.uk), ESERO, STEM and the Space2Earth website (www.spacetoearthchallenge.org.uk), which is linked closely to Tim Peake's flight on the ISS (Dec 2015 - June 2016). The project will be showcased at teachers' conferences and CPD sessions. Other solar researchers and post-grad students will be encouraged to participate. HEM's network of contacts, public lectures, social media, TV and radio activities will ensure that the project reaches far and wide.
