Planet Earth podcasts, from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and hosted by Planet Earth online, cover a variety of topics about the world around us. Each podcast reports on two to four different stories, describing research projects and studies, dangers to the environment and wildlife, and proposed...
British ESA astronaut Tim Peake invites UK children to exercise alongside him as he trains two hours a day on the highest and fastest gym in the Universe – travelling at 27,600 km per hour and circling the world every 90 minutes. The triathlon styled challenge encourages schools to create their own ‘spaceathlons...
In this activity, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, students are introduced to the rotating Earth and the concept of longitude. They will carry out simple arithmetic that relates the 24 hour clock with the Earth’s rotation. The questions in the activity require an understanding of angle: one hour being equal to...
In Unit 5 of the Geology: Structure of the Earth series, produced by Northumberland County Council, students investigate the Earth's magnetic field. In particular, they discover how small traces of magnetism, preserved in rocks for millions of years, can allow geologists to plot the former positions of continents...
This resource, from ESA, is intended to familiarise students between the ages of 11 and 14 with the subject of satellite imagery. Satellite images are of increasing importance in a great many domains and are dramatically changing the way the world and physical phenomena are perceived.
Their use and...
Aimed at primary level, this pack contains a range of different activities based on the theme of ‘Earth’. The activities cover a mixture of topics including: weather, gravity, plants, fossils, energy and soil. Designed for use in class or as part of a science week or club, they promote investigative work and...
This Catalyst article is devoted to the use of satellites for navigation. It looks at GPS (global positioning system), the involvement of satellites and how GPS signals work in navigation and calculating position.
This article is from Catalyst: GCSE Science Review 2002, Volume 13, Issue 2.

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Describe constellations of stars in the night sky.
- Describe the planets that can be seen with a telescope.
- Describe evidence that shows the Earth is shaped as a sphere and...
In these activities, pupils are introduced to the idea of controlled or uncontrolled re-entry for satellites. They are challenged to devise a way of reducing space debris by designing alterations to satellites so that they bring themselves back to Earth. In the first activity, the students pretend to be satellites...
Produced by the Hamilton Trust, these resources give details of seven lessons on space. This includes lesson plans, practical activities and all student materials. Students find facts about the Sun, Moon and Earth. They develop an understanding of day and night, the four seasons and the Moon’s phases. The Sun and...
This resource from Physicists in Primary Schools (PIPS) supports the teaching of Earth and Space at Key Stage Two. A presentation introduces Earth and the planets of our solar system, with an activity in which children help demonstrate the relative sizes of planets and the distances between them. It moves on to...
From the Institute of Physics, this resource provides extensive teacher guidance and suggested classroom activities to support the teaching of:
* Gravity and space
* Orbits and satellites
* The solar system and beyond
* Sun, Moon and Earth Each topic is explored from the following...
In this activity, pupils will consider some properties of different rocks. They will also learn about classifying, or sorting things into groups to help them identify which rock is which. They can then take a closer look at the meteorites, tektite and ammonite in their sample boxes. There are two versions of the...
