Explore Saturn and Titan
On 14 January 2005, the European probe Huygens entered the atmosphere of Titan - one of Saturn's moons. Based on this major event in space exploration, ESA offers a cartoon-style teaching aid with fact sheets for teachers to use in the classroom. The factsheets are available for use with different aged students -...
Exploring Rainforests
In this activity, students examine changes to forests in cross-border regions of Africa and Borneo using Google Earth Pro to help identify features shown in satellite images and make measurements. The context allows students to explore the factors which put pressure on forested areas, and what is being done to...
Flight Test
This activity requires students to design and construct a payload fairing and vibration rig to test a protection system for a satellite (an egg). Students are given limited materials (this can be differentiated accordingly) to produce their model, the success of the model is initially measured by the egg not being...
From the Ground and From the Sky
This activity introduces the idea of remote observation by asking children to match photographs such as lakes, mountains and cities taken from the ground with early astronaut photographs. Children then compare the images from the ground with the astronaut picture of the same place. This activity is also suitable...
