Solar System Card Game
A simple card game in which groups of pupils ask each other questions and answer them in a Round Robin quiz; each card has a question on the front and the answer (to a different question) on the reverse.
The game can be made easily, and has been shown to work well as a plenary exercise when investigating the Solar System.

Spies in the Skies
This starter activity lists eight advances in technology brought about through the use of satellites.
The purpose of this exercise is to invite pupils to arrange the technological advances in order of importance/relevance in our daily lives.
Clearly there is no ‘correct’ order, and this provides the opportunity for pupils to discuss the relevance of some items and to give their own opinions on these technological advances and allows them to explore 'How Science Works'.
The activity raises social, cultural and environmental issues and also offers the chance for pupils to develop their Citizenship knowledge, understanding and skills.
