This scenarion intends to have students reflecting on their knowledge related to the phases of the Moon and addressing some misconceptions related to its influence on us.

Much of the evolution of the universe can be described through the pull of gravity and push of pressure. Gravity condenses gas, it heats up, and if it can, it expands, and if it can’t, stars are formed. In this Hangout, we will consider the gas laws, and look at different kinds of nebulae.

This learning scenario allows pupils to work as a team in order to design the fastest rollercoaster. It incorporates different areas of the GCSE physics curriculum and allows the use of ICT in a new and innovative way. This activity can be run over several lessons or used for a STEM club project.
