Space Science
Beyond Earth
This zone is about everything above us: rockets, orbits, planets and the hard problem of keeping humans alive out there. Expect launches, models and a lot of testing.
- Physics
- Modelling
- Maths
- Engineering
- Curiosity
- Teamwork
What you'll explore
- Why rockets go up and how orbits keep things falling around us
- What a planet or moon is really like, and how we find out
- Designing habitats, rovers and landers that survive
- Reading real data sent back from space
Great for you if…
- You ask big questions about the universe
- You like maths, physics or building models
- You do not mind testing something ten times to get it right
Project ideas for your age
- Idea 01A balloon rocket race with a chart of which one flew furthest
- Idea 02Build your own planet and tell us who lives there and why
- Idea 03A moon-crater tray: drop marbles and measure the dents
Tools & materials
- Bottle and balloon rockets, stomp launchers
- Sensors and data loggers
- Card, foam, 3D printing for landers and habitats
- Open space datasets and star-map apps
What a strong project looks like
A physical test with recorded results across several attempts, and a clear explanation of the science behind why your design performed the way it did.
