Destination Moon & Beyond Enquire Now Discover the science required to reach the Moon and the space programs that made it all happen. From trajectories & orbits to rocketry & materials science, we’ll look at current and future space programs, operations and missions. Students will gain an appreciation of astronomy and gain insight into our place in the Universe. Full risk assessments available on request. Available as a primary school science incursion within Australia or as a video conference to any school around the globe! Looking for a more broader school space workshop incursion that covers more than just our solar system? Check out the Stars & Planets workshop Option to join an ExoLab International Space Station experiment Find out more here Trustpilot Online Class Version We’ve run live interactive distance programs since 2010 and are highly experienced in making online classes engaging for students on a variety of web conferencing platforms. All of the same curriculum points will be covered, but the activities may vary from those listed for face-to-face incursions. Our online classes include demonstrations, Q&A, and hands-on activities (you will receive a materials list upon booking). Full child protections are in place We usually connect to classes & homes via Zoom, however if you wish to use a different software we can work with you on getting the connection live. If you connect with us via Zoom Full system requirements for Zoom here Each student should test their Zoom connection here. Once the date & time is arranged we will send you simple connection instructions (one click & you’re in!)

They were very excited. Highly recommended. St Michael's Catholic Primary School Feedback on: Earth Sun & Moon Workshop Thanks so much! Science Show Demonstrations Distances in space Measure the distances between the Earth, Sun & Moon. What about sizes? Tricky Trajectories Can you launch a rocket to get it to the target? Giant Gyro How do spacecraft turn in space? Breathe in! What would happen to an astronaut if they didn't wear a spacesuit? Gravity Pull Model the gravity on Earth vs. Moon. Which planet's gravity is greater? Troublesome tools How does working in space affect tool design and use? Lunar phases Why does the Moon look different throughout the month? Creating craters Model crater formation... what do craters tell us about the Moon's formation? Rainbows of light How spectrometers were used on lunar experiments Rocket launcher Launch a rocket using a chemical propellant Remote rocks Determine the types of rocks you have using a sensor Rocket modelling Compare scale models of the Saturn V to other rockets Heating up & Cooling down How do materials respond to rapid changes in heat? Spiraling orbits What happens to space debris as it approaches celestial objects Magnetometer Investigate magnetism, just like the Apollo missions & more Roaring Jug A model of how rocket engines work Optional extension - Join an International Space Station Experiment! Join ExoLab, a science experiment where students from across the world compare their results with an identical growth chamber on the International Space Station (ISS). Join an international school community to share results & ideas along with the U.S. National Laboratory. Collect and analyze data to identify the optimal combination of legume, bacteria, and soil to produce nodulation in the harsh environment of the space. Engage in experimental design, data collection and analysis, writing and revising hypotheses, and communicating about what they’ve learned using evidence from their experiments. Direct curriculum outcomes for high school Guided by experienced educators from Fizzics Education & Magnitude. Available Australia-wide The experiments are initiated on the ISS in accordance with resupply missions. This allows for multiple experiments per year, giving options on when to align the classroom experiment with the ISS experiment. Students look for relationships between the environmental conditions, including the effect of microgravity on the growth of living things in general. Trustpilot Requirements Workshop version – Appropriate for Years 3 to 6 with a maximum of 30 students per class. 60 or 90 minutes Show version – Appropriate for K to 6 with a maximum of 240 students per class. 60 minutes Access to 2 electrical power sockets and 12 to 14 tables Chairs are not required Ability to turn off fire alarms to be able to run one of the demonstrations Set up time 45 minutes and pack up time 45 minutes For us to provide the best possible learning experience, the materials used during the presentation may be varied to suit the conditions and the audience.
