• Understand the concept of a closed system and understand why the Earth, a space craft and Mars are all closed systems and...

Produced by Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), these investigations look at how pigments change during the fruit ripening process.

The green colour of the unripe fruit is due largely to the presence of...

The engineers behind the Watt Nightclub in Rotterdam turn the energy created by clubbers on the dance-floor into power for the lighting. There is even a giant battery to monitor the energy and encourage the crowd to dance even more.

In this activity, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, students look at the Sun and the Milky Way in different wavelengths. They apply their understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum to astrophysical objects and look at why it is important to use the whole spectrum in astronomy. The images of the Sun are...
