The activity was designed to be very flexible so as to cope with differing session lengths (often 30 to 60mins)

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.

Our project impact advisor Jen DeWitt gives teachers an overview of research into the concept of science capital. The 13-minute video gives tips on how it can be applied in the classroom and across the school community.

Share what your students have been learning about with a tour of a virtual museum. Invite their friends and family to take a look at the variety of work they have done and the science behind it all. This community activity could also be done as a VR experience.

Ask the experts anything! A multi-platform approach to a “meet the researcher” format, where students are introduced to the work of a number of researchers from multiple fields. With video introductions shared with the school and over social media, followed by either an in-house or online presentation, with a QnA, where pupils can ask the experts anything, and the experts try and provide answers. This activity is done in class and conducted over multiple lessons.

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!
