| Description: |
The term ‘space weather’ indicates the physical conditions at the Sun and in the space environment between the Sun and Earth, that can influence the operation of spaceborne and ground systems and affect human activities and health. Scientific research on the space weather is therefore important to forecast the potential impact of perturbations driven by the Sun activity on biological and technological systems. This work discusses a learning module aiming at introducing high school pupils to the characteristics of the Sun, the relationships with the Earth and the impact that phenomena of solar origin have on our planet. The module consists of experimental observations and of class lectures, both aiming at coupling the curricular teaching at school with actual research topics. |
