SUPERCOMET Project Family

The MOSEM² project (2008-2010)

MOdelling and data acquisition for continuing vocational training of upper secondary school physics teachers in pupil-active learning of Superconductivity and ElectroMagnetism based on Minds-On Simple ExperiMents

Project funding of € 300 000 €, 100% of the requested amount, was announced by the Norwegian Leonardo da Vinci National Agency in August 2008. This marks the fifth consecutive successful project application out of five written by Simplicatus, and it is the third of those applications where Simplicatus has been the project promoter. The first two applications were promoted by NTNU, Trondheim, Norway.

The Kick-Off conference is planned for Amsterdam, Netherlands and will most likely be held at the beginning of December.

The MOSEM project (2007-2010)

Minds-On experimental equipment kits in Superconductivity and ElectroMagnetism for the continuing vocational training of upper secondary school physics teachers

The MOSEM project offers participating schools and teachers a collection of simple, thought-provoking tabletop physics experiments. Electronic and printed support materials use text, videos and animations to raise the user’s curiosity. Investigating the encountered phenomenon and doing own research with the provided materials and other sources improves motivation and learning. The project builds on many previous Leonardo and other EU projects, most notably the SUPERCOMET 2 project.

The SUPERCOMET 2 project (2004-2007)

SUPERCOnductivity Multimedia Educational Tool Phase 2

The aim of the SUPERCOMET 2 project was to contribute to changing this unfortunate trend through providing educational materials that are challenging, interesting and fun for both pupils and teachers. SUPERCOMET 2 targeted on-the-job training of physics teachers by offering a toolkit for inspiring and encouraging pupils to learn exciting physics in a non-traditional fashion.
