Description
It was an activity designed for the KS2 curriculum where kids can learn about materials for space capsules and satellites. I gave a presentation and shown one video from ESA, then the pupils investigated weight, electrical conductivity and resistance to impacts of material samples to find the best one to build a spaceship. It was an activity linked with the National Railway Museum hosting Tim Peak's Soyuz descent box.
