Looking for a few more Schools to partner as pilot scheme in space science (10-12yrs). You get lesson plans, activities, handouts, linked to curriculum + video link Q&A session with me. Anywhere in world, you teach we support. Please share, DM, email. smarttscience.com
With Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland School now on holidays, and GB schools back in the classroom mostly, so today's lesson won't be on at 11am today. We aim to upload a recording later in the week that you can use if you want to finish the set.

Join us again tomorrow for Lesson Six on stars at smarttscience.com - see you at 11am. Lesson available for download now. If you could squeeze all of people on this planet onto a teaspoon - that would be the weight of spoonful of neutron star matter !
Lesson 5: Asteroids, Comets & Meteors livestream up at 11 o'clock today! Smarttscience.com
You can download the lesson now on smarttscience.com How big is the biggest asteroid do you think ? In comparison to Britain and Ireland ?
Tomorrow, Tues June 16th , we'll look at asteroids and comets. They have hit the earth, do hit the earth, and will hit the earth. Just a question of size. @fallingstarIfA searches whole sky night. While Hawaii observes, @AstroQUB at @QUBelfast scour the data in our daytime
Find a dwarf planet ! ATLAS Project @fallingstarIfA searches for killer asteroids. @AstroQUB we analyse data in day, while Hawaii observes at night. Many asteroids, supernovae every night. We use computers. But here is how Pluto was discovered - can you spot difference.
Thanks to all who contacted & asked if we could finish off the lessons. Prof Smartt @SteveSmartt had @QUBelfast marking and exam work to finish and we convered material for classrooms 2020+. We're happy to say we'll start again on Tuesday 13h June. We'll do the second 4 !
Lesson 4 - The Dwarf Planets, is live at 11am! Download the resources from smarttscience.com. This is our last lesson that will be live-streamed!
Best resource for all the facts, up to date measurements and history of exploration of the Solar System's planets and moons - solarsystem.nasa.gov/solar-system/o… If you want to compare sizes, locations masses, temperatures of all the planets, dwarf planets. All here !
As kids are going back to school, tomorrow will be our last live class, but we'll still be providing learning resources for four more lessons in the coming weeks. Tune in at 11 tomorrow morning for 'The Dwarf Planets', and download the resources from smarttscience.com now!
Subscribe to our mailing list via smarttscience.com for updates!

Lesson 3 - The Gas Giants & Ice Giants is available to download from our website now! Tune in to smarttscience.com tomorrow at 11am for the livestream lesson.
Join us again tomorrow at 11am for a live lesson the Giants of the solar system - the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn and the ice giants Uranus and Neptune. And their many moons ! One of which might be the most promising place in the solar system to search for life.
Safe travels to Doug Hurley and Bob Benhken for their SpaceX flight to the International Space Station on Wednesday!
phys.org/news/2020-05-a… Asteroid or comet ? Our friends in the ATLAS project @fallingstarIfA have found this weird object. We'll be looking at the difference between asteroids and comets soon. And how to find Pluto in images taken with ATLAS.
