Hossein Khezri (Associate of Commission C1 WG Astronomy Education Research & Methods)
Today, learning astronomy becomes more interesting for children when it is combined with other sciences.
After three years of activity and photographing terrestrial phenomena such as: squares, alleys and mountains around the city during sunrise and sunset, I was able to teach the movement of the sun during different seasons to my elementary school students. At first, this topic was new to them and after learning mobile photography, they were able to use newer ideas by comparing and the concept of seasons, the length of days in different days of the year, the size of their shadow in different seasons using Learn photography with a mobile phone in a scientific and attractive way.
