Blinded by the light: We rely on lights to see in the dark, but did you know that light pollution has serious environmental consequences?
How do physicists study very small objects (like molecules, atoms, and subatomic particles) and very large objects (such as galaxies) that cannot be directly observed or measured?
Motivate and engage your students with the interdisciplinary school projects run by the European Space Agency (ESA).
Your mission: to land an intrepid egg-naut safely on the surface of the Moon and learn about classical mechanics along the way.
Ever wondered what the weather is like on planets outside our solar system? Scientists have recently discovered an exoplanet where it rains iron!
As space missions venture to the moons of Jupiter and Saturn – and beyond – to look for the conditions for life, what alien life forms might be found in such exotic environments?
Investigate the factors affecting plant growth and devise a plan for growing plants on the Moon.
The possibility of worlds beyond our own has fascinated people for millennia. Now technology is bringing these other worlds – or exoplanets – within reach of discovery.
Prepare for lift-off with these simple activities that demonstrate some of the key principles of space science.
