Even daily communication changes when living on the moon. Without air to carry our voices, we might rely on lasers to beam our message home.

Since the moon is as dry as Earth’s driest desert, we’ll have to bring water with us. The water recycling system used on the ISS can help our supply last.

The Airbus Foundation Discovery Space is the place to learn how things fly, how they land, and even more.

Flying to the moon is tricky business, especially since you can’t just head in a direct line. How can you plan your trajectory to the moon?

A manned spacecraft needs a soft landing, but it’s all in the timing. Fire up your thrusters and hope you’ve picked the right spot to touch down.

Holding our breath isn’t an option on the moon, we need sources of oxygen to sustain life. Let’s start by importing some plants to help us breathe easy.

There are only so many groceries you can bring to the moon, so how do you produce food in a place with no air? Here’s now to cultivate lunar food sources.

One Earthling’s trash is another astronaut’s treasure. We can turn waste products into valuable sources of heat and fuel, and recycled materials.

An entirely new landscape awaits when you land on the moon. Will you choose one of the poles or dig underground – where will your moon village be?

When you think of building, you probably think of bricks – but moon rock is an entirely different material. So what’s the best way to build on the moon?

About 180 craters appear on the moon every year, not to mention being hit by golf ball-sized meteors all year long. How do we stay protected?

A lunar day lasts for 14 Earth days, but night can be just as long. Is solar energy our best bet for powering the moon base? And how do we make it last?

Just one year on the moon maxes out the amount of solar radiation we can handle over a lifetime. What’s the best sunscreen for moon life?

The aim of the moon mission is to research how to live on other planets. That means not only experimenting on the environment – but also on ourselves!

Getting stuff done on the moon requires more effort than what the first settlers can manage by themselves. Robots to the rescue!

Top tips for an unforgettable moon adventure include impact craters housing ancient organisms from the days of the universe’s creation.

How best to travel on the moon with rocks, boulders and craters in our way? And when settlements expand, what will our lunar infrastructure look like?

Packed with black hole facts, The Black Hole Song will teach you all about the three different types of black holes, how black holes form, and more. Enjoy! For more music and information, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: Black hole, a region in space Where gravity is so strong, nothing can escape Black hole, you know that place Where matter is squeezed in a tiny space Black hole, a region in space Where stars collapse and fade away Black hole, you know that place Where matter disappears without a trace Ever wonder what happens, when a star collapses? A black hole! Gravity starts pulling, and all the matter gets trapped in, never to be seen again! Like water going down the drain, when you pull the plug in the tub it's insane How a black hole pulls all the matter around Into a region of space that can't be found A giant star casts out its outer layers Leaving the core, which collapses in on itself And forms a black hole Black hole, a region in space Where gravity is so strong, nothing can escape Black hole, you know that place Where matter is squeezed in a tiny space Black hole, a region in space Where stars collapse and fade away Black hole, you know that place Where matter disappears without a trace There are three types of black holes: Stellar and supermassive and miniature (Whoa!) So a black hole can be small? As tiny as one single atom (That's all??!??) Yeah! But they can be really big too! Supermassive black holes are the ones that are super-huge And then stellar black holes are the ones That come from dying stars much bigger than our Sun Sagittarius A is a supermassive black hole in the middle of the Milky Way We will never reach it, because we are too far away Black hole, a region in space Where gravity is so strong, nothing can escape Black hole, you know that place Where matter is squeezed in a tiny space Black hole, a region in space Where stars collapse and fade away Black hole, you know that place Where matter disappears without a trace Copyright 2018 Silly School Songs.

For more music and information, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: Can you tell us what the Oort Cloud is? It's a really big space bubble kids Can you tell us how the Oort Cloud works? Just a second, here comes the first verse Oort Cloud, strange little name We're not sure it's even there which is just as strange It's a theory of a really big cloud That surrounds our solar system all the way around Like a space bubble made of rocks and ice Some of the comets that you see come from it (that's nice!) It's way beyond what we call the heliosphere That means the Sun and all the planets are nowhere near! The Oort Cloud is a bubble in space that our solar system lives inside At least that's what the scientists tell us, but nobody really knows if they're right (It's a theory!) Can you tell us what the Oort Cloud is? It's a really big space bubble kids Can you tell us how the Oort Cloud works? Just a second, here comes the second verse Jan Oort of astronomy fame Came up with the idea of the cloud (hence the name!) He was also the first one to state That the Milky Way rotates (and that's great!) The Oort cloud is made of two parts: An inner disc and an outer sphere both really far away In a place called interstellar space Even though it's not confirmed it's the theory of the day! Double-O, r-t cloud We know what it is and we know how it works now Double-O, r-t cloud We know what it is and we know how it works now Double-O, r-t cloud We know what it is and we know how it works now Double-O, r-t cloud We know what it is, it's a big space bubble!

For more music and information, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: There's a ring of rocks in outer space Called the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt It goes around the Sun like a big highway It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt Between Mars and Jupiter is where it dwells The asteroid belt, the asteroid belt It has millions of rocks from what we can tell It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt The word asteroid means star-like William Herschel gave them that name when he observed them on a dark night And they exist in a disc in the inner Solar System Where they drift and even get into collisions On occasion and they break into pieces Adding to the asteroid population And now there's millions of them in the belt 200 million miles from the Sun, they're not gonna melt! There's a ring of rocks in outer space Called the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt It goes around the Sun like a huge highway The asteroid belt, the asteroid belt Between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt It's circumstellar, because it circles a star The asteroid belt, the asteroid belt One asteroid in particular, Ceres Is the largest in the Inner Solar System (Clearly!) They also call it a dwarf planet Of all the mass in the asteroid belt, it's 33 percent! But then there's Vesta, Pallas and Hygiea Second, third and fourth largest is the idea Altogether they make up about half Of the asteroid belt's mass, see ya later class! What's that ring of rocks in outer space? It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt It orbits the sun like a big highway It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt Hanging out between Jupiter and Mars It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt If the belt is a highway the asteroids are cars on The asteroid belt, the asteroid BELT!!!!

For more info and music, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: The Kuiper Belt is a ring of icy objects in space (A whole bunch of rocks and ice!) It's not a belt that you can wear around your waist (It doesn't even have a buckle!) It's in the outer solar system, and it has a doughnut shape (Too bad there's no jelly!) The Kuiper Belt is 4 billion miles from the Sun (That's a loooong way away!) Scientists still don't know how it was formed (All they can do is guess!) It's that icy cold place that all the plutinos call home (Including Pluto, it's the largest, baby!) New Horizons is the first mission to the Kuiper Belt (It's all about that flyby) It's the place where Pluto Haumea and Makemake dwell (We call 'em the dwarf planets!) More than 100,000 KBOs are hanging out there (FYI, that stands for Kuiper Belt Objects!) Gerard Kuiper is the astronomer for which it was named (Kenneth Edgeworth helped out too) Fragments of rock and ice are what it contains (Not a whole lot going on out there) The main ingredients are ammonia, water and methane (Keyboard solo time!)

For more music and info, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: What's a solar eclipse, you say? It's a cool trick that nature plays It's when the Moon happens to find its way Between the Earth and the Sun (All up in the middle) Eclipses have been going on a really long time Before science came along it used blow people's minds They would freak out and think that the world was gonna end I can imagine I would too if the Sun went dim And no one could tell me what in the world was going on!!! (That would be so crazy) So a solar eclipse you see Is a natural phenomenon and nothing scary The moon has to be at perigee For it to happen at all (If it's gonna happen that's the only way) If you're not familiar with that word (Perigee) It's the closest that the Moon gets to the Earth The opposite is apogee, which is the word For when it's farthest away (hey, hey) A total eclipse is when the moon's silhouette Seems bigger than the Sun but lest we forget The Sun is still a lot bigger it's just farther away And an eclipse is cool, so it's really okay It doesn't matter which one is bigger anyway They're all special in their own way (That's the truth, yeah) Hope you enjoyed this song about solar eclipses...

This song is all about the Milky Way galaxy--you know, the one we all live in. 🙂 This Milky Way song for kids is full of fun and interesting facts about the Milky Way galaxy, and it's a pretty catchy tune as well. Hope you enjoy it! For more music and info, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: Let's take a journey through the Milky Way (Milky Way) What discoveries can we make today (make today) A spiral galaxy with planets and stars (planets and stars) Just don't confuse it with the candy bar (candy bar) The Milky Way is a galaxy Stars, dust and gas bound together by gravity And it spins like a pinwheel The Orion Arm is where our solar system chills And it's rotating pretty fast 10,000 miles an hour (But what about solar mass?) It's the size of 100 billion suns And it's made of several swirling arms The Milky Way sounds kinda dreamy But it's a mass of space stuff not sweet and creamy Like the candy bar with the caramel and the nougat It's a barred spiral galaxy with stars running through it By the billions, nobody knows just how many Suffice it to say, there are stars aplenty And it's 100,000 light years wide That's trillions of miles from side to side Let's take a journey through the Milky Way (Milky Way) What discoveries can we make today (make today) A spiral galaxy with planets and stars (planets and stars) Just don't confuse it with the candy bar (candy bar) Announcer Guy: Astronomers used to think that the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe, But after 1920 it was discovered that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies! The center of the Milky Way is a riddle There's a really strong radio source in the middle Sagittarius A* is what it's called It's a supermassive black hole It's very dense because of its gravitation And it gives off electromagnetic radiation But don't worry, Planet Earth is safe Because we're 26,000 light-years away! Let's take a journey through the Milky Way (Milky Way) What discoveries can we make today (make today) A spiral galaxy with planets and stars (planets and stars) Our song is done, so let's eat that candy bar (candy bar) Copyright 2017 Silly School Songs.

Learn all about the dwarf planet Orcus with this funky yet mellow groove. Orcus is a pretty mysterious dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt...we don't know that much about Orcus the dwarf planet yet, but what we do know, we put into a song for your enjoyment. Hope you like it! Lyrics: Orcus, the dwarf planet We don't really know that much about you yet The Kuiper Belt is where you're found Yet another dwarf discovered by Michael Brown Orcus, the dwarf planet We don't really know that much about you yet You're a trans-Neptunian plutino And here's a couple more things that we know Are you talkin' about orcas? Like killer whales? No, Orcus the dwarf planet! 90482 No it's not a ZIP code, it's the number that they gave you (Orcas) First spotted by the Palomar Observatory Just some background in case you haven't heard the story Michael Brown, Chad Trujillo And David Rabinowitz were like the Three Amigos They discovered this plutino in 2004 They named it Orcus after Etruscan folklore He was the god of the underworld, a bad dude Judging by his face, he was always in a bad mood But anyway, Orcus has one moon Called Vanth for the goddess of death (Sounds like fun, too) It's a plutino, that means it's bound By the gravity of Neptune as they both go around the Sun And Orcus takes a long time to make the trip 247 years (Really?) Legit! At over 600 miles across Orcus orbits the Sun like a Kuiper Belt boss! Orcus, the dwarf planet We don't really know that much about you yet The Kuiper Belt is where you're found Yet another dwarf discovered by Michael Brown Orcus, the dwarf planet We don't really know that much about you yet You're a trans-Neptunian plutino And that's pretty much what we know Copyright 2017 Silly School Songs.

A fun song I wrote for my students while we were learning about solar eclipses- of course this was in preparation for the total solar eclipse that will occur on august 21, 2017. LYRICS Momma screamed, It’s really weird! The sun is gone, It’s disappeared, It was here, but now it’s done, I’m sure gonna’ miss that yellow sun! We all yelled, Oh Mom, gee whiz, The sun is where it always is! It’s just tucked in, behind the moon, The sun will be back very soon! So listen Mom, Just read our lips, Just say it twice- Solar Eclipse So listen Mom, Just read our lips, Just say it twice- Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse The sun’s sitting back, behind the moon, But it’s gonna’ be front center, really soon! The sun’s sitting back, behind the moon, But it’s gonna’ be front center, really soon! Daddy screamed, The sun went dark, How will I take you to the park? I’ll sure miss it’s rays so gold… Without the sun it’ll be so cold, Daddy listen, don’t get sad, The sun’s still shining, you’ll soon get glad… The moon’s between the sun and us, Blocks are view, so let’s discuss (don’t make a fuss…) So listen dad, Just read our lips, Just say it twice- Solar Eclipse So listen dad, Just read our lips, Just say it twice- Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse The sun’s sitting back, behind the moon, But it’s gonna’ be front center, really soon! The sun’s sitting back, behind the moon, But it’s gonna’ be front center, really soon! Teacher said the sun blew out, We all began to yell and shout, You’re a really silly guy, A solar eclipse is in the sky! Blown out sun, You’ve gone too far, Sun’s still a big gas burning star, The sun’s been blocked out, by the moon, Sun’s shine will be back very soon! So listen teach, Just read our lips, Just say it twice- Solar Eclipse So listen teach, Just read our lips, Just say it twice- Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse

8 Planets, 8 Experiments, 8 Minutes! Thank you so much to Eureka! The National Children's Museum for having me come and film their awesome space. It's an absolute honour to join the Eureka team as an ambassador in celebration of their 25th birthday! I can't wait to share more of this incredible museum with you and continue to promote learning through play! Subscribe for more: http://bit.ly/1kPjJZL https://www.eureka.org.uk https://www.eureka.org.uk/blog/twenty-five-years-of-eureka/ .................................................................................................................... 8 Experiments! Experiment 1 - Whoosh Bottle (only to be carried out by professionals) Experiment 2 - Cocoa Craters for Mercury Fill a tray with flour and add a layer of cocoa powder on top. Find some marbles or small pebbles and on the count of three throw in your ‘meteors’ and create craters! Experiment 3 - Vinegar Volcanoes for Venus Fill a small cup with vinegar, add 1 tsp of dish soap and a few drops of washable food colouring if you want. Get ready with a few tsps of baking soda, and when your ready for your eruption, drop the baking soda into your volcano mixture! Experiment 4 - Paper Rocket Launcher for Earth Paper rockets can be made really easily with rolled up pieces of A4 paper. However, if there are any creative grown ups out there, then feel free to make your own compressed air rocket launcher?! http://makezine.com/2010/07/11/how-to-building-the-compressed-air/ Experiment 5 - Curiosity Rover for Mars. Eureka have their own remote controlled 'Archimedes Rover' which we use in this video. However, it may be fun to make your own Curiosity Rover with an old RC car or even try building one out of Lego?! Take your rover on adventures and pretend to explore the surface of Mars! Experiment 6 - Tornado in a Bottle for Jupiter Find two plastic 1 litre bottles and fill one with water (add glitter and colour for fun?!). With your second empty bottle, tape the two nozzles together with very strong tape. When your ready for your tornado turn the bottles over, swirl the water slightly and watch the tornado as the water drains from one bottle into the other! Experiment 7 - Saturn Spinner for Saturn Find a small soft ball and secure it to a piece of string. Holding the string centrally, spin the ball in circles and you’ll start to see the ball blur, and begin to look more like a solid ring as you spin it round. BONUS Experiment - Whoopee Cushion for Uranus Experiment 8 - Instant Snow for Neptune Neptune doesn’t have snow, but it is extremely cold and this demo will help to remind little ones of the freezing temperatures on this planet. Instant Snow can be bought in packets however you can also gather it from nappies/diapers! Carefully cut out the absorbent pad of a nappy, place it in a bowl and rip the fabric so the contents can fall out. Gently shake it and the “instant snow” will fall straight out! ..................................................................................................................... Keep in Touch!
