European Space Agency Resources – Secondary
This collection contains a whole range of resources derived from ESA (European Space Agency) research. Many activities can be carried out as stand-alone lessons or mini projects in a STEM Club setting, as well as longer term student research projects ideal for EPQ purposes. There are many demonstrations to show step by step building of models including spacecraft. There are also a multitude of worksheets and wall charts suitable as lesson starters or plenary tasks for all key stages. The videos feature interviews with real space scientists as well as animations and satellite imaging of space to stimulate interest and discussion.

Marble-ous ellipses: speed and time of orbiting bodies
This activity puts speed-time graphs in a space context by looking at the elliptical orbits.
In order to understand the orbits of planets, comets and other celestial bodies, it is necessary to examine the principles of how gravity, and the velocity of an object, interact to produce an orbit. It is a common...
Mini-whoosh bottle (teach with space)
In this practical investigation, students will perform a combustion reaction using a mixture of alcohol and air in a plastic water...
Mission 1: Newton in Space
Produced with the input of experts and teachers, this 17-minute video from ESA illustrates how simple experiments, in space and on Earth, can be used to investigate Newton's three laws of motion. The video also examines the difference between mass and weight. The video uses demonstrations from two astronauts on...
Mission 2: Body Space
The ESA DVD has been developed with the support and input from experts, teachers and their pupils from across Europe. Scenes for ISS DVD Lesson 2 were filmed during the DELTA Mission (2004) of Dutch ESA astronaut André Kuipers. The video looks at the effects of a weightless environment on the human body: how our...
