<\/a>\"\"<\/a>The Astrobiology Summer Academy is a four day CPD programme (Sunday to Wednesday) for Biology\u00a0AND Physics teachers <\/strong>to learn about the science of Astrobiology and work with researchers and lecturers to develop CfE lesson plans for topics such as ‘extremophiles’ (CfE Higher Biology) and ‘life in the Universe’ (SCN-3-06a, SCN 4-06a).<\/p>\n

During the four days you will learn about the origin of life, the possibility of life on other planets, and the study of life in Earth\u2019s extreme environments, such as in the Antarctic ice sheets and deep ocean hydrothermal vents.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The expectation is that during the four days you will\u00a0also take part in the development of distinctive lesson plans to be implemented in schools shortly afterwards and made available to teachers. These lessons plans will be consistent with the CfE curriculum and\u00a0you will receive assistance in bringing them together.<\/p>\n

\u00a0There are 20 places available for teachers and you can register your interest at www.astrobiologyacademy.org<\/a><\/p>\n
