This video asks the question, “When are you lightest?”. Most people state that this is in the morning. An experiment is conducted to find out. This shows that there is a loss in mass in the morning. The question is then, “How does the body loose this mass?”. The answer is a combination of water loss and the...
In this unit of work students work together in teams to produce a set of information boards for an exhibition to explain conservation and investigative techniques used to preserve ancient artworks from Pompeii and Herculaneum. The purpose of the unit is to show pupils how processes for conserving and interpreting...
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:
- ...
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...
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...
Dr Claire Cousins and Mark Fox-Powell explain how scientists look at life that exists in extreme environments on Earth, to see what kind of life scientists might see on the surface of Mars. This knowledge helps scientists plan the best target for a rover.
Professor Cockell takes us through the astrobiology...
This Catalyst article looks at Thomas Read, a secondary school student from Swindon who explains how he won an award at the Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition 2012. Thomas was introduced to astronomy at a school club. He decided to enter his photo of the Sunflower Galaxy, taken using a robotic telescope...
Since ancient times, humans have gazed at the stars and tried to understand the night sky. This process continues today with observations still made by the naked eye but also with sophisticated telescopes and instruments that look at infra-red, ultraviolet, microwave and other wavelengths. This collection contains...
Produced by the Royal Astronomical Society, this booklet reviews British astronomy and space science. It includes articles on discoveries and achievements of UK scientists, current projects, plans for the future, careers information, and advice for schools and students. Topics include: * The electromagnetic...
Astrobiologist Dr. Lewis Dartnell talks from the Atacama Desert about a research trip to find extremophiles that might give scientists some clues as to the kind of life that may exist on the surface of Mars. Lewis shows how quartz can act as a natural sunscreen to enable cyanobacteria to grow in the dry desert...
A collection of ten videos describing Aurora's mission to Mars. The topics covered in the films include:
