For this session students will work out a limited set of instructions to enable the ExoMars rover to find good locations to take samples for analysis. They will have to consider carefully what instructions the software will have to carry out to make the ExoMars rover’s hardware function effectively. They will then...

Purpose: Good practical science should include a variety of types of investigation and locations. Digital technology can support activities that involve outdoor work and observations over time, without being disruptive to school routines. 

Teaching approach: In the example described in the link below, data...

Collisions: extra - chasing the ball!

Collisions: inelastic collision top view

Inelastic large spin

Collisions: inelastic little spin

Collisions: large mass into small mass

Collisions: large mass into small mass from above

Collisions: oblique collision

Collisions: rebound (v-t)

Collision: small mass into large mass

Collisions: two equal mass head on above (drift)

Collisions: equal mass straight (x-t)

In this simulation, students create a rainbow by mixing red, green, and blue light. They change the wavelength of a monochromatic beam or filter white light and can view the light as a solid beam, or see the individual photons.

Learning objectives could include:

*Determine what colour the person sees...

From Solar Spark, this simple demonstration shows the effect of adding colours. Photos and pictures are often made up from just four colours black, cyan, magenta and yellow. Different amounts of each colour combine to get all the colours of the rainbow and make the complete picture.

Solar cells are...
