GCSE National Space Centre Trip Triple Science Physics GCSE students attended the National Space Centre in Leicester last week looking to enhance their knowledge in preparation of their exams. The students started the day watching a show in the Planetarium all about the life and death of stars, along with proof of how we and everything we know started life as star dust! From here they moved on to a master class on orbits, red shift and the Big Bang, with the added bonus of some exam tips and a few great hands on demonstrations. Following lunch the students had some free time to explore and found many exciting educational interactive displays, as well as a few that were just for fun. Finally we took the lift to the top of the rocket before heading back to school A great day was had by all and they all came out with the knowledge they needed for their GCSE.
