Pupil outcome: I can write the first half of an essay about the effects of climate change on the polar regions, using a range of linguistic features and a formal tone. Key learning points: - Our essay gives a logical argument that builds...

Ernest Shackleton on his British Antarctic Expedition 1907–09, otherwise known as the Nimrod Expedition, the first of three expeditions to the Antarctic led by the Anglo-Irish explorer. Its main target, among a range of geographical and...

Take a trip around Earth’s seven continents and discover what makes them unique, from Asia's towering Mount Everest to the native wildlife of Australia to the frozen expanse of Antarctica.

How do we get from A to B? Cardinal and intermediate directions are a tool in geography that help us navigate the world around us.

It's been three years since NASA's Juno spacecraft arrived at Jupiter. But what has it seen and discovered? We will examine Jupiter's magnetic field, core, bands, aurora, atmosphere, storms and clouds.

Antarctica, the highest, driest, coldest, and windiest continent on Earth, is a land of extremes. With 99.6% of its surface covered in ice, it offers unique conditions for climate research. International scientists and researchers...

Feedback is a vital part of any manager or supervisor’s role. And that’s as true for Project Managers as for any other form of manager or leader. There are different types, but the one that gets...

The Stern-Gerlach experiment, which took place in 1922, was the most important proof that electrons have spin and that they have a spin quantum number. A stream of silver atoms was sent through an experiment using a magnetic field...

Antarctica is not like every other continent. Aside from its extreme cold and vast ice sheet, it's also the only major piece of land that has never had a human settlement rise up on it. And because of this, as it was explored in the...

For decades, Antarctic sea ice trends seemed to defy climate change, until…they didn’t. In just two years, Antarctica lost as much sea ice as the Arctic lost in three decades. Statistics say that the record low sea ice in 2023 was a 1 in...

The success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission raises even more questions about our already mysterious Moon.

VIPER, PRIME-1, Chandrayaan 3 and PROSPECT look to find water on the Moon.

Storms are a regular occurrence throughout the solar system, and they can get Big. So what are the largest ones we've ever observed?

The Moon's polar regions are a shocking place for humans to be.

Almost everything you could want to know about Saturn's sixth largest moon, Enceladus.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft was the first spacecraft to orbit two extraterrestial bodies, Vesta and Ceres. But what did it do and discover while it was there?

Hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons are formed due to violent storms that originate over oceans and seas and move towards land, potentially causing extensive damage to both life and property. But there is a very interesting thing related...

The true geographic North Pole is bereft of vegetation. Trees need soil to flourish. As the North Pole is composed of random chunks of ice in close proximity, there is no way that growth can occur. Then there are months of darkness,...

We create a simple electromagnet by coiling wire around a nail and passing current through it. The magnetic field around the electromagnet creates similar patterns in iron fillings to a permanent magnet. Physics - Electricity And...

We use two magnets and a set of scales to examine magnetic field and strength. One magnet is attached to the scales and a second is lowered towards it. When opposite poles are facing each other, the weight on the scales decreases as the...
