The solar system is littered with Ice. The bulk of this material orbits quietly in the outer Solar System, but sometimes something disturbs the ice and it comes plunging in toward the Sun. In this lesson, we will discuss comets, how we explore them, and how they brought water to worlds like Earth.

What Doppler effect is . How it works. Solutions and possibilities.

Shooting Stars is a lesson plan that teaches you the Kepler's laws of planetary motion in a concrete and innovative way. You will play a physics puzzle game where you get to control the planets of a star system. By playing the game you can simulate orbiting planets and gravitational forces in the searing heat of the sun. You can try how many planets you can keep in orbit. Test your skills in many ways, with different scenarios that give you a taste of the world of supercomputer simulation PRACE offers!

The students make a short study of heath and molecular velocities using Science Centre To Go Mini Heater et Cooler exhibit. The demonstration of the experiment is based on advanced visualisation techniques.
