Key Stage 3 (Years 7–9) · Science
Space
Pupils learn about the solar system, Earth's place in space, planetary motion, gravity, orbits, phases of the Moon and the reasons for seasons and day-night cycles. They consider scale, time, light years and the nature of stars and exoplanets, plus historical models of the solar system and the role of telescopes and probes. Practical activities include modelling orbits and analysing astronomical data.
