In this activity children use the exciting space mission to understand the concept of orbits and to link this to their understanding of gravity.
This article outlines one way of addressing children's difficulties with forces, following his successful presentation of it at the Associatio
In this activity children investigate the effects of gravity and create a series of force diagrams to explain what it would be like in zero gravity.
In this activity children investigate the movement of waves and use a chart to explain how to predict when a tsunami may hit.
Beyond science and the arts, let's aim for science for all - all learners, all schools and all year round!
A selection of the very many primary events that ran at the ASE Annual Conference in Liverpool in 2018.
Here Max explores how things move on different surfaces, investigates magnetic force through making a magnetic sling and testing different materials.
Melissa explore friction, air resistance and water resistance in different contexts and explores the use of levers, gears and pulleys.

In this activity children learn about friction and investigate the grip of different shoes to decide which are appropriate for racing on sports day.
In this activity children learn about buoyancy and how it is affected by different water conditions and learn the importance of a Plimsoll Line.
