Challenge your students’ misconceptions about suction by using a simple gas syringe to demonstrate the impressive power of atmospheric pressure and pressure differences!
Science is becoming increasingly open. In this article, we show you how to make use of this and bring authentic research into the classroom.
Over 15 000 satellites are currently orbiting Earth. Do you know what it takes to keep them up there?
Three simple experiments illustrating Faraday’s law of induction and the different ways induced currents may be generated.
Most people know that the Moon and the Sun cause the tides, but few understand why we get two high tides each day, or why a tidal bulge forms on the opposite side of the Earth from the Moon.
Exoplanets are planets orbiting stars beyond our Sun. Discovering them may answer one of the most asked questions: Are we alone in the universe?
X-ray light does not only enable us to look at our bones, it also helps scientists to analyse tiny molecules that make up all living things.
Discover how hands-on experiments can introduce students to light and particles through the lens of space exploration.
