Rocket science includes ideas of forces and motion, how rockets work and some of the challenges for those wanting to make rockets go faster and higher. In the last 60 years, rocket science and ...
Rockets launched into space can be suborbital (brief visit to space) or orbital (staying in motion around the Earth) or can escape Earth’s gravity to travel deeper into space. What is space? The ...
Drones, UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), droids, flying robots – no matter what you call them, they are fast becoming the latest must-have technology. Need to check the high country farm to ...
In this activity, students handcraft a glider from balsa wood. In the process, they learn about aerofoil wing shape, glider parts and terminology. They experiment with flight using variables of ...
Large snow events in most parts of New Zealand are uncommon. However, if you are in the South Island or the central North Island, this citizen science project could be a great one for your ...
Are you looking for ways to teach forces? If you’re new to the Science Learning Hub, you may want to start with our introductory video on teaching physics. Alternatively, use the links below to ...
In this recorded professional learning session, Greta Dromgool and Ted Cizadlo will build your confidence to teach about the Physical World. The New Zealand Curriculum achievement objectives for ...
Rocket science includes ideas of forces and motion, how rockets work and some of the challenges for those wanting to make rockets go faster and higher. This teaching sequence introduces students ...
Learning about the physical world includes learning about physical phenomena, how they interact and ways in which they can be represented. This helps students understand a wide range of ...
This is the edited recording of the Physics made simple – force and motion webinar.
Aerial robotics or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are a rapidly expanding industry with a broad range of applications and possibilities. Aeronavics has been at the forefront of this innovative ...
This slideshow from the webinar Physics made simple – force and motion provides additional support for the video tutorial.
In this simulation, students set rocket parameters before launching to see how high the rocket goes and whether they can launch the payload.
Different wing sizes and shapes allow fliers to have specific flight capabilities. Match birds and aircraft with similar capabilities.
