Landing on a comet

Produced by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, this booklet uses the context of the Rosetta mission to develop students understanding of weight, mass and gravity. Included is an online video that introduces the Rosetta mission and discusses its significance. Questions and answers are included that test a student’s understanding of weight, mass and gravity. Though designed for key stage three teachers and students, teachers may find the video a suitable resource as a discussion point for key stage four students.
