Pupil outcome: I can interpret a weather report. Key learning points: - Weather reports contain a considerable amount of data - This data can be interpreted in real terms - Weather data can help when making decisions

An update for the NASA InSight mission to Mars. What has it seen and discovered so far?

A helicopter works on the principle of aerodynamic lift - an upwards force that opposes the weight of the helicopter and holds it the air. So how exactly do the rotors of helicopters help them fly? For any object to fly in the air, it...

Storm surges are huge domes of water sucked upwards by the eye of a hurricane. What happens if they hit the shore, or worse, a city? Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. Storm surges are caused by low pressure in the eye of a...

What causes different kinds of weather? What is wind and where does it come from? How can pressure systems help us predict the weather? Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. Understanding weather systems is the key to reliable...

What makes a tornado nature's most dangerous storm? Scientists are working to identify the unique set of circumstances which combine to create a tornado. Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. Tornadoes are a violent, spinning vortex...

The weather systems on our planet are all driven by one thing: air. Discover how our weather is driven by energy from the Sun, affecting the movement of air. Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. Our weather is a chaotic and complex...

How do the clouds closest to the Earth affect our weather? How are they formed and what do they look like? Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. Temperature, humidity and air pressure produce ten different types of cloud. Those at...

Delve into the principles of flight dynamics, focusing on the relationship between air pressure and lift. Discover how Bernoulli's principle influences the design of airplane wings, creating the necessary conditions for lift to occur....

Dive into the fundamentals of flight physics by exploring concepts such as air pressure and Bernoulli's principle. From Leonardo da Vinci's pioneering sketches to Daniel Bernoulli's groundbreaking discoveries, learn how pressure...

This is an impressive but simple experiment for children. We did it with Alex about two years ago, so it was Max's turn now. But this time I added a bit of a twist though. I spread food colouring on the bottom of tea candle, lighted it...
