  1. MACE III, Frasso Sabino, 2004. SMALL BODIES AS INTRODUCTION TO SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS - Some experiences from the Visnjan Observatory - Korado Korlevic, korado@astro.hr

  2. The general idea is… … to bring science and technology to the pupils population and awake up the dormant 5% of gifted pupils. * Formal education system task

  3. The task that the formal system usually fail … … in that case the population is subjected to the INFORMAL EDUCATION: * NGO’s * Churches * Pseudoscience movements * Radio/TV/Newspapers * ……………….

  4. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN THE EDUCATION OF GIFTED PUPILS AND STUDENTS * Motivation …….. * Inspiration ……... * Creativity ……… * Group/Team work Usually by defoult: NON DOCUMENTED MISSING BLOCKED DISABLED

  5. Motivation BASIC:oxygendrinkfoodneed for sleep and rest shelter sex safe from harm …….. GROWTH:need for “love” relationshipsbelonging to a groupself-respect achievementreputationstatusprestigeneed to satisfy curiosityexplorediscover……

  6. Achievement, curiosity, explore, discover For the gifted population the hierarchy of motivation is radically different! Some growth needsare soimportant, that overcome some basic needs. The syndrom is known as the“Addiction of discovery” “Where no manhasgonebefore”

  7. Small Bodies of the Solar System “Where no manhasgonebefore”

  8. Visnjan Observatory As one of the NGO’s main activity: education MPC code 120

  9. Our goal …. * To give support and motivate pupils, that have the predisposition to become experts in science and technology.

  10. Meteors, Comets, Asteroids Dedicated observation of Small bodies of the Solar System fully cover the need of exploration: “Where no manhasgonebefore” • * Meteors observations* Fireballs • * Comets* Asteroids - International Meteor Organisation- WGN- ………………..- MPC - MPEC, NEO Confirmation Page- ………….

  28. Students @ Visnjan Preparing the future managers in science - technology and education

  29. Students @ Visnjan Science projects2004 – Electrometer - meteors

  30. Network of Excellence The formal system reacts 2002 • Scientific Research and Practice for Talented High School Students

  31. School of Natural SciencesInstitute for Advanced Study Princeton, Dr. Dejan Vinkovic Electrophonic sounds from meteors:     # expedition to Mongolia    # the Global Electrophonic Fireball Survey # LELUYA project - 2D radiative transfer in  circumstellar dust

  32. Dr. Slaven Garaj Harvard University

  33. Dr. Marina Rejkuba ESO – VLT, Sierra Paramal

  35. Mario Juric Princeton University, Department of Astrophysical Sciences last published work

  36. Ana Bedalov At work, 2.5 m, Tautenburg MPC code 033

  37. EDUCATION EFORTS PAYS:1.) We help pupils/students to acquire skills, knowledge, contacts that make their lives more interesting and enjoyable. 2.) The society gain an new expert. 3.) Due to the symbiotic relations pupil - teacher in sharing enthusiasm, we gain in quality of life. 4.) More work done in the Minor Bodies field.
