GREAT PROJECT!:)
"This week, India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission is the first to put a lander near the Moon’s south pole, where it has successfully deployed its Pragyaan rover. Unfortunately, Russia’s recent mission to the Moon has not been a success, with its Luna 25 spacecraft crashing into the lunar surface last week.
Chandrayaan-3 marks India’s entry into the exclusive club of nations that have achieved soft landings on the Moon. Russia is already a member of that club, but its last successful mission to the lunar was in 1976 when it was still a member of the Soviet Union.

Meanwhile above our heads... PERSEIDS meteor shower!
Hope you live or can commute to area wit BORTLE SCALE class 4 or 3?
If you're not sure what does it mean, you may read about the details below or even got inspired to measure sky quality on your own!

Dear Teachers!
If you are interested in the subject of distance learning, including project-based teaching, we recommend visiting the following website, where you will find materials from the BeReady final conference in Warsaw (April 2023):)
Lectures include topics like:
- the mathematics of soap bubbles (with support of GeoGebra)
- creating virtual galleries (in ArtSteps)
- supporting the teaching of physics with 3D printing
- experience of a technical school for the blind during a pandemic
- teaching electronics (also at the academic level!) remotely, using Arduino kits (okay, Analog Discovery II:D)
- PBS not only in science 🙂

Yes, reality is complicated. But beautiful:)
What you see in this picture is a soap bubble with curve fitting of catenoid in GeoGebra.

Dear Teachers and Educators, if you're looking for inspiration for project-based activities or tools that support online teaching, let's have a look at the Handbook that we prepared for you!:)
The document was created by Edumotiva in cooperation with Politechnika Warszawska Wydział Fizyki Politechniki Warszawskiej, Universidade do Minho, Università degli Studi di Siena with a kind support of teachers involved in project.
If you have any question or comments or you're willing to share your own tools and good practices - we'd be more than happy to here from you! Let's leave a comment o reach us via e-mail!

What's great about doing projects? That they are in their nature interdisciplinary - as the real life and real science. Could you answer the question if following article refers to biology, physics or chemistry, as school subjects? No, nor can you encapsulate it as 'medicine', it's simply an INTERDISCIPLINARY REASERCH, and sophisticated scientific project, requiring a lot of specialists from different fields:)
