European Space Agency (ESA)
In 2016, European Space Agency Astronaut, Tim Peake, carried out a series of experiments on the International Space Station, using equipment designed by the National Space Academy.
The overall programme includes the following topics from UK physics and chemistry secondary school curricula:
- Newton’s Laws
- Momentum and Kinetic Energy
- Circular Motion
- Kinetic theory of gases and molecular vibrations
- Gravity, ballistics and orbits
The videos include dynamic analysis of the movement of objects to allow students to investigate the motion of objects in free-fall.

This collection of videos show ESA Astronaut, Tim Peake, on the International Space Station, demonstrating circular motion. In this free-fall environment, Tim can demonstrate how objects move in a circular path without the observed effects of gravitational acceleration with similar experiments performed in the...

In this free-fall environment, Tim can demonstrate how objects collide without the observed effects of gravitational acceleration with similar experiments performed in the classroom...
This collection of videos show ESA Astronaut, Tim Peake, on the International Space Station, demonstrating kinetic theory. In this free-fall environment, Tim can demonstrate the behaviour of an ideal gas without the observed effects of gravitational acceleration with similar experiments performed in the classroom...
Astro Academy: Principia - gravity
This video explains the concept of gravity and why everything on the International Space Station appears to float.
