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.
45–55-minute interactive show that features 6 space industry role models that demonstrate the breadth of their careers and the diversity of people doing them. The space industry is for everyone! Science Made Simple presents the show, students watch, consider questions, and help with demonstrations. A recording of this show is available below, and schools and other education organsations can replicate this experience for their chosen audeinces.
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).
Students work together to solve a number of challenges in relation to ensuring supply of oxygen, energy, and food in order to survive on Mars.
Students work together in groups to design their "mission to Mars". Each team select examine experiments and set up a plan on how they want to achieve these goals. The focus of this activity is on collaboration and using transdisciplinary thinking to solve problems.
A true challenge where students will have to face the laws of physics to complete their mission.
Students have to face the laws of physics to complete their mission. In this online activity, 11-16 year-olds have to complete a series of online challenges to help them successfully complete their mission!
