Thermal engineering for space
RAL Space is the UK’s national space laboratory where our thermal engineers and technicians help design and build spacecraft. They make sure that the components will work correctly and are protected in the extreme temperatures of space by using a special type of insulation. In this activity and presentation, pupils...
The TRUMP BaBar Resource Package was produced for, and sponsored by, the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC). The package has three main components: a booklet of notes and information for teachers, a set of photocopiable student sheets and three colour posters/leaflets. This package was linked...
TRUMP BaBar Resource Package: Posters/Leaflets
The TRUMP BaBar Resource Package, from the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC), included three colour posters/leaflets about matter, antimatter and the BaBar experiment. The posters help to explain how the BaBar experiment was designed to study the interactions between B and B-bar mesons as part...
TRUMP BaBar Resource Package: Student Sheets
The TRUMP BaBar Resource Package, from the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC) included a set of copiable student sheets. The activities were linked to the particle physics experiment called BaBar, which was designed to study the interactions between B and B-bar mesons. The sheets include...
TRUMP BaBar Resource Package: Teachers' Notes
The BaBar Resource Package, from the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC), was written for teachers (and students) with a basic knowledge of modern particle physics, at the level set out in the resources from the TRUMP Particle Physics Project....
UK Goes to the Planets
From the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), this resource describes why we explore the solar system and space missions carried out in recent years. These include: * Rosetta mission to a comet * Mars Express * Venus Express * SMART-1 mission to the Moon * Cassini Huygens surveying * Saturn and Mars...
Venus Express
From the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), this wall chart describes the space mission to Venus, the UK experiments aboard, and the extreme conditions on the surface of Venus. In addition to mission details, the resource describes properties of Venus and the conditions found on the surface of the...
Visit Guides
These two guides from Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) help teachers to plan and organise school visits to CERN in Geneva and the Isaac Newton group of telescopes on La Palma in the Canary Islands. The guides give great reasons to visit, explain what services and support would be offered to school...
The We Are Aliens! teaching resources were produced to support the planetarium show made by NSC Creative. They have been produced by lead educators from the National Space Academy to use the context of space to teach physics, chemistry and biology in the curriculum. The resources contain practical activities,...
What Is Astrobiology?
From the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), this resource describes the new and exciting subject that brings together many different branches of science. Astrobiology is the study of how life formed and developed on the Earth, the conditions that made this possible and whether these conditions can...
