In this activity students will learn about the Las Cumbres Observatory and where the telescopes are located, leading them to consider the impact of the environment on our view of the stars.
During this activity you will learn how the distances to nearby stars can be measured using the parallax effect, and put this method into practise to determine the distance to nearby stars.
Have you ever wondered what happens to stars as they get older? Explore the evolution of stars with different masses.
Design, test and build a model lander and explore the effects of gravity, air resistance and friction.
This activity demonstrates the scale of the Universe, starting with our closest cosmic neighbour the Moon and travelling through the Solar System to the nearest star.
In this activity, you’ll map your astronomical objects, taken using Serol's Cosmic Explorers, onto the night sky using RA and dec coordinates.
In this activity you will measure how fast the Sun moves to caclulate how big the Sun appears in the sky. All you need are some household items and about 20 minutes on a sunny day.
How long would it take to travel to the Moon? Could you travel to the edge of the Solar System and beyond?
Make craters and learn more about how the speed and type of impactor affects their shape and size.
Carry out taste tests to explore how our senses affect the flavour of our food, and what this might reveal about eating in space.
Working in teams, students must complete tasks as quickly as possible, while their dexterity is impaired, as if they are wearing bulky spacesuits.
