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:
- ...
Astro Academy: Principia - careers
This video features Anu Ohja talking about the growth of the UK space sector and the involvement in of the UK in human spaceflight.
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...
This collection of videos show ESA Astronaut, Tim Peake, on the International Space Station, demonstrating the physics of collisions. 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...
Astro Academy: Principia - gravity
This video explains the concept of gravity and why everything on the International Space Station appears to float.
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...
Circular motion: ball on a tether released (horizontal plane)
Ball on a tether released (horizontal plane)
Spinning ball on a string then released (x-t graph)
This resource includes videos that can be used to demonstrate the motion of an object on the International Space Station, either with or without the use of Tracker software. The Tracker files are...

This resource includes videos that can be used to demonstrate the motion of an object on the International Space Station, either with or without the use of Tracker...
Circular motion: extra ball on tether (Tim hits the camera)
This video shows ESA Astronaut Tim Peake spinning a ball on a string, on the International Space Station.
