Exploiting the lack of gravity in experiments carried out in space can yield information that might take much longer to find on earth on earth, but how is it achieved? |
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
-
Identify that we live on the surface of the Earth which is a sphere
-
Describe how the Earth spins on its axis and explain what a day is
-
Describe how...
Aimed at primary learners, these resources link to aspects of mathematics, geography, science and computing.The activities use early astronaut photographs to encourage children to think about what features on the Earth look like from space, and satellite images to enable students to measure the growth of a city and...
A great deal of space exploration is performed by autonomous craft. They have mapped remote planets and even landed to send surface data back to Earth. Satellites have changed the world of communication, earth observation and, through global positioning systems, everyday navigation. This collection, with...
The Rosetta spacecraft was sent on a mission to comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Part of its mission was to deploy a lander, Philae, on the surface of the comet. This resource is also downloadable in the Welsh Language.
The resource contains seven activities themed around the mission:
...
In this Crest Award accredited project, students monitor levels of atmospheric sulfur dioxide and rainfall acidity in the school grounds. Suggested investigations include:
- Investigate various methods of measuring acidities between pH4 and pH7, to decide which method is most accurate.
- Compare...
In this activity, students examine changes to forests in cross-border regions of Africa and Borneo using Google Earth Pro to help identify features shown in satellite images and make measurements. The context allows students to explore the factors which put pressure on forested areas, and what is being done to...
This resource links to science and D&T but in a moon context. Children analyse the importance of having shelter for protection on Earth and in space. They compare the environmental conditions on Earth and on the Moon, then work together to design and build their own Moon shelter using materials comparable to...
In this activity developed by the Institute of Physics, students use iron and sand to model the composition of the Earth and estimate what fraction of the Earth is occupied by its iron core. After completing this activity, students should be able to: *Measure mass and volume. *Calculate density from mass and volume...
This short animation film joins the alien, Paxi, as he investigates the water cycle. He explains how...
This activity shows how Earth observation can be used to study human geography by comparing the satellite images of Las Vegas over the last few decades. Linking to measurement of irregular areas and addition and multiplication of fractions, it asks children to measure the area of Las Vegas at three separate times...
This Science upd8 activity draws on Titan which is the biggest of Saturn's moons.
There are two student activities; one involves labelling a diagram to tell students on Earth about the nature of Titan.
The other asks students to take the role of Titanian space explorers and use data to compare the...
These activity sheets give students the opportunity to look in greater depth at the similarities and differences between Mars and Earth. The activities focus on the basic chemistry and geology of Mars in comparison to Earth, asking students to apply their existing knowledge or use research aids. This resource, as...
These resources link to elements of the geography, while supporting aspects of science, maths and computing. Using early astronaut photographs, and more recent satellite images, they provide opportunities to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using each method for remote sensing. The main activity is based...
Dr. Mark Woods explains how the rover technologies must be partly autonomous, since the signals from Earth to Mars take too long for every command to be send from Earth. The technologies developed for space, also have applications on Earth.
This video is part of a series of ten which look at the one of the...
