What is Classroom Space?
Classroom Space is a national project funded by PPARC and run by the University of Leicester and the National Space Centre. It is aimed at teachers of Key Stages 3 and 4, and their students. The Classroom Space materials use the exciting themes of space science and astronomy to teach key areas of the Science National Curriculum. Some activities can also be used within the Mathematics, Geography and ICT curricula. All activities incorporate space data and images that have been collected on real space missions that look at our Earth, the Moon and Mars – giving students access to information they would usually never see!
