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...
Geology: Structure of the Earth was a topic designed by the Northumberland Supported Self Study Unit at Northumberland County Council in the early 1990s for post-16 students. Comprising six units, the topic aimed to not only teach about geological features of the Earth but also to develop learning skills which...
In this activity from the European Space Agency, students communicate with a rover on "Mars". The objective of the mission is to send an automatic message from Earth to a rover located on Mars via an Orbiter. This message is sent by a programmed, LEGO-built, robot running an automatic switch. The rover on Mars...
This video introduces the idea of inertia by using a large globe suspended by water. It shows that acceleration requires an unbalanced force and then explains that an objects inertia is its tendency to maintain its motion unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force.
This video shows people’s misconceptions regarding the age of the Earth. It shows how imagining the difference between a million and billion is very difficult for people to do.
The video uses an arm span to model the age of the Earth and shows how recent in the Earth’s history the evolution of more complex...
