Gold Medal
Best of the best
This mission provides an opportunity to do some careers and personal development work embedded within a STEM context.
Space capsule
Biosphere
Biosphere covers a lot of fairly familiar work about photosynthesis and respiration and could be used in normal curriculum time.
Alien
Little Green Men
The mission concentrates on how a scientist might approach the search for extraterrestrial life.
Planets
Life On Mars
Life on Mars looks at the mission to get to Mars - via the Moon. Most of the mission thus concentrates on the Moon rather than Mars.
Astronaut landing on moon
Next Giant Leap
The Next Giant Leap explores some of the new technology that will be required to move from our ‘local’ system of Earth and Moon to Mars and potentially beyond.
Space shuttle launching
Off The Planet
Off the planet covers the development of the latest generation of rockets designed to lift humans off the Earth and into space.
Two astronauts
Working In Teams
These resources are slightly different from the other missions in that they are designed to be used in the contexts of the other missions rather than as a sequence of activities in themselves.
