Rosetta mission to comet 67p

Produced by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, this booklet uses the Rosetta mission to comet 67P to test understanding of the concepts of speed, distance and time. Included is an online video that introduces the Rosetta mission and possible future missions. The booklet contains questions and answers that use the speed, distance and time equation. Due to the units involved teachers may need to spend time discussing standard form with students. The questions included are also suitable practice for key stage four students.
