MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE

The Universe is full of mysteries and I would like you  to investigate some of them. With your projects we will prepare an Exhibition. Check the list below to find some examples of things to investigate:


  • Life in the Solar System is one of the most interesting topics that tou can choose. 

Check the next link about the Nasa program to look for life on Mars. The next video show a short but interesting interview that answer an interesting question.



  • Scientist also look for planets beyond the Solar System. CoRot and Kepler projects look for exoplanets with suitable conditions for life.
  • How a telescope works is really interesting if you want to understand better how scientist know things about the Universe. The next link is a wide review about different types of telescopes.

  • Make a Solar System model. Create a scaled model of the Solar System provide us with a better point of view of the real dimensions. You can create planets following diffierent procedures. Here you have one example. 



  • To investigate different planets and other celestial bodies in the Solar system.

      PROJECTS WITH LIGHT AND SOUND

      Choose one of the next projects 

      • Create a pinhole camera. Is a good project to understand how photo camera works. A human eye follow the same principle than this simple camera. If you want to do this project you can check the following links:
