Space Hopping

Years 3 - 4

What do you think it would be like to travel through space? Journey through the Solar System on board a space probe.  Can you find a planet to settle on? Examine the differences between Earth and other planets. What would it be like to live on Mercury, without an atmosphere? Could we survive on the surface of a Gas Giant or find water on Mars? Discover how the position of Earth in the Solar System makes it perfect for us to live on!

Our Place in Space

Years 5 - 6

Why is Mercury riddled with craters and Mars too cold for us to live on? Explore our galaxy and find out why Earths position amongst the planets is perfect for life. What did astronauts find when they visited the Moon? Find out how we learn about planets, galaxies and stars that we havent visited and discover how long it would take to drive a car to the Moon, or to walk around the whole Earth. Take a journey through the night sky, identifying the different stars and planets that are visible from Earth, and listen to the ancient stories behind some familiar constellations.
