Teacher CPD event including Science Capital, Thinking, Doing, Talking Science and IR demos for school science. In this video, Explorer Dome brings together expert educators and researchers to discuss how to bridge the gap between a student's interest in space and science subjects to a belief that a career in these industies is an achevable and worthwhile goal. And how to promote these subjects in an inclusive way.
A student-guided tour of space, presenter-led but curated by the children themselves. Planets, moons, black holes, and nebulae are just some of the highlights of this engaging session. This activity requires access to a planetarium, although alternative methods are possible without the use of a planetarium.
Inspired teachers inspire students! Our Space Our Future wants to share the endless possibilities that a career in the space sector can offer. To inspire the next generation of engineers, astronomers, mathematicians… today’s pupils are tomorrow’s trailblazers! But as an individual organisation, we can only reach so many. This teacher training session hosted by Explorer Dome shares the experiences of STEM teachers and educators, sharing best practices, resources and techniques, as well as hearing from experts in the field of science education research.
What space research would you invest in? Give your students the power in this Dragon’s Den format. Three hopeful space sector experts come into the den hoping to win over your students. After pitching their research, the students vote on the expert they liked the most and what area of space science they would want to invest their money with.
It is not just a matter of fact.... or even just facts about matter? Part two of our Curiosity Show, featuring experiments with solids, liquids and gasses! We also keep things cool with some demonstration with liquid nitrogen! If you have access to liquid nitrogen, and someone with expertise working to work with it, try out these experiments in your classroom, alternatively as a member of the Explorer Dome team to give you a hand!
Don’t always believe your eyes! This curious blend of demonstrations will have the audience scratching their heads as a blend of physics and chemistry “tricks” to encourage critical thinking and as an introduction to the scientific process. This is a selection of demos that can be presented individually, as part of a series, or together as a long-form show when combined (approximately 40 minutes).
