Smartt Science is providing free online learning resources and live video lessons for pupils on the theme of space science. Teachers can be assured that the content is accurate, up to date and appropriate for pupils aged 8 to 12 as lessons are designed through the Smarttscience.com teacher collaborations.
Every Tuesday morning at 11 o’clock, professor of astrophysics Stephen Smartt will be hosting a live video lesson via his YouTube channel. Before the lesson, download the lesson resources that Stephen Smartt will be using.
One of the most important things that pupils can do in a science class is to ask questions. During the live lessons, pupils or teachers can tweet questions to @smarttscience or email smarttsciencelearning@gmail.com. Questions will be answered by Professor Smartt during the live lesson.

In this eight week series, Professor Smarrt will cover our solar system, rocky planets, gas & ice giants, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, meteors, stars, life in extreme environments, and exo-planets.
