This Catalyst article describes how a crewed trip to Mars and back would be very demanding, both technologically and for the people involved.
This article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2011, Volume 22, Issue 2.
Catalyst is a...
This text, produced by the Geological Society, investigates igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, the rock cycle, erosion and weathering. The book contains a series of classroom activities for earth science at Key Stage Three. Each unit provides preparatory information for the teacher, information sheets for...
The films in this collection look at how we map the Earth. Topics include ordnance survey maps, time zones, longitude and mapping the ocean floor.
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Describe the concentric model of the Earth.
- Describe how temperature changes through the Earth.
- Explain how we know tectonic plates move very, very slowly across...
A Catalyst article investigating if there is life elsewhere in the universe. Scientists have found many different ways of looking for life. This article looks at the exploration so far.
This article is from Catalyst: GCSE Science Review 2004, Volume 14, Issue 3.
This activity is designed as a ‘virtual mission’. Students will play the part of Near Earth Asteroid (NEA) scientists to the scenario of a possible asteroid impact with the Earth. By following the story of the mission (led by an automated powerpoint), students will apply their understanding of kinetic energy,...
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.
