Waldemar OGŁOZACracow Pedagogical University
ogloza@ap.krakow.pl
Participants in Polish HOU:
• Pilot-programme schools (~25)
• Teacher-training colleges (Cracow Pedagogical Universites)
• Astronomy Clubs, Planetaries ... (MOA, Almukantarat, ... )
• Unregistered users who benefit from the online resources, but who do not participate directly.
Example of HoU grow activity
• „Coronado” case
• Scientific picnic
• Asteroids discovery
„Trade”
Coronado filter price = ~50 school visiting

Polish HoU activities:1. Repeat Eratosthenes' experiment to measure the radius of the Earth
2. Home-built PVC telescopes and spectrographs
3. Supernovae programme and web-portal4. Eclipsing binary stars programme and web-portal5. Minor planets discovery programme6. Webcam astronomy (see C08 tal at 15:30)7. Use of INO (see C09 tal at 15:45) and LCOGTN robotic optical telescopes
8. (Planned) use of robotic radio telescopes
9. Simulations of Solar cycles observaions
10. Theoretical exercises based on existing observations11. Discovering features on Earth using Google Earth
Repeat Eratosthenes' experiment to measure the radius of the Earth
