Learn all about the Moon, including where it came from and how we travelled there, and download a My Moon Adventure booklet for your little astronauts to fill out at home or school on our Moon Hub!

I’ve got something in my eye 😍Hello I am Leah, one of the Science Ambassadors from Cleves Cross primary and I have worked with Ambassadors from all the Ferryhill, Chilton and West Cornforth primary schools. I have really enjoyed being a Science Ambassador this year. I loved doing the science clubs, training, the opening of the Phiz Lab, the Rolls Royce and Netpark visits and learning all the science facts. I hope next years Science Ambassadors love it as much as we did! Meeting an astronaut was amazing too! I enjoyed meeting Dr Jenny and Dr Lorraine and all the scientists. Our science club at school was super fun. We have made rockets, slime, oobleck and electronics. Oobleck is a liquid and a solid. In your hand it is a liquid but if you punch or poke it, it’s hard. Also we learned about electronics, we connected wires from a battery to a fan, a buzzer and a light bulb. It’s all been amazing thanks to the Ogden Trust, Durham University Physics Outreach, Business Durham and Approach Too.
