This collection of fourteen 60 second animated clips were produced by the Open University, and funded by the Science Technology Facilities Council. They focus on cutting edge topics within astrophysics in a humorous and easily accessible way. The animations cover topics such as the Big Bang, the expansion of the...
These series of animations explain what microgravity is and how it is used in research both on the ground and in space. They are designed by researchers from the Open University and narrated by the actor/comedian David Mitchell.
This short film explains how the 60 second adventures in microgravity series was put together. It features some of the researchers, animators and script writers involved.
This publication is a report from the Leading Space Education Programme (LSEP). This is a Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) funded project that has worked with 30 schools in England with the aim of enhancing science, technology, engineering and mathematics education in secondary schools and using...
This STEMNET activity case study describes the work of Vicki Hodges as a STEM Ambassador. In a wide range of activities, she has helped to build a space station in an infant school, worked at careers fairs for older students and lectured at universities. Vicki has worked with all age groups and enjoys sharing her...
Area Builder gives students the opportunity to build any shape and explore the relationship between the area of a shape and the length of its perimeter. The “Game Screen” contains two kinds of challenges: Build a shape and Find the area. There are different levels of increasing difficulty. The teacher notes give...
Since ancient times, humans have gazed at the stars and tried to understand the night sky. This process continues today with observations still made by the naked eye but also with sophisticated telescopes and instruments that look at infra-red, ultraviolet, microwave and other wavelengths. This collection contains...
These activities from the BEST project (age 11 to 14) can be used with primary pupils. The diagnostic questions probe pupils' ability:
- to identify magnets and magnetic materials
- describe rules of attraction and repulsion between magnets
- to identify situations in which a force is...
In this resource, students use their STEM skills to help them design and build a model of a flood- proof house. Activities to help them with their design include testing materials (for strength and absorbency) and structures. Set on a fictitious island coping with the devastating effects of flooding caused by...
