From NASA, this resource looks at how bodies in the solar system are classified. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) defined the terms "planet" and "dwarf planet". The IAU's decision created an opportunity for students to understand the solar system better by considering the definitions of planet,...

The activity, from the Biomimicry 3.8 Institute, provides an illustration of biomimetic technology. Students explore how to produce electricity by constructing a dye-sensitised solar cell at ambient temperatures, using a few simple materials. In the manufacturing of most solar cells, silica must be heated to...

This is a worksheet which looks at various factors which effect the scaling up of laboratory processes to industrial scale in the commercial manufacture of dyes.  Students look at

• costs of the raw materials for each dye 
• the percentage yield 
• size of reaction vessels  
• energy...

These resources have been created by Dynamic Earth as part of Protecting Our Planet Day (POP) events.
