In this set of activities children learn about the causes and potential impacts of sea-level rise while developing working scientifically. They use data from satellites which observe the Earth and collect information as the basis of evidence for this.

Activities are:

• reading a story about how...

This video explains how our preconceived ideas of how objects move can distort our understanding of Newton’s laws of motion, creating misconceptions.

1.            An object with no unbalanced force acting on it will naturally come to rest.

2.            An unbalanced force causes an object to move...

This film, from Twig World, explores some of the many ways to explore the Earth and its physical and 'human' features. The key points made in the film are: •Maps have been used by man throughout history to explain and navigate the world. •Traditionally, maps are two-dimensional drawings that use scale to map the...

Man-made satellites are put in specific orbits around our Earth and other planets to do certain jobs e.g. to send digital communications or to monitor the weather. These orbits can be distinguished by height above the planet and the orbital period. The orbits of natural satellites are much more varied and these...

The video begins by showing the misconceptions people have about weightlessness in space (space station). It explains how gravity exerts a force on the moon and so would also exert a force on the space station. It then shows that the astronaut is falling along with the space...

The ASE Lab Books were published in the early 1970s for the Association for Science Education by John Murray. Each title in the series covered one or two topics and brought together the best of the teaching notes and experimental ideas from members of the association...

The most astonishing and complex organism on earth - the human body - is explored in this dynamic series. Specialist photography and state-of-the-art digital illustration...

ESA Climate Detectives is a competition that is open for students from the ages of 8 to 19. Teams of...
