Astrogazers
We meet in Room 4 during the Winter and Spring terms at lunchtime on a Monday. We play online games,
especially the ones on the NASA kids’ site. Sometimes we even learn about planets, stars and
constellations! There are lots of useful websites to use, where
we get information about the night skies and news. We
entered the Space Experiment competition at the British
National Space Centre but we don’t know how we did yet.
We had to think up experiments and reasons for experiments in space. Here’s what some of our members suggested for the competition:
• Do fabrics deteriorate in space? Astronauts wear
clothing for different amounts of time and compare
with the same on earth (Philip Nesbitt)
• Can food be microwaved in space? (Paul McGuckin)
• Can you get dirty in space? (Samuel McNair)
• How long would lightbulbs last in space? (Owen
Heaney)
• Are pain levels any different in space? (Connor Reid)
• Do oil and water mix in space? (Jonathan Greer)
Astrogazers is good for meeting like minded people. It’s good to play together on the interactive whiteboard. Sarah Cooper and Jonathan Greer are pretty expert at the Dr Who games.
If you are Year 8 or 9 you are welcome to our club.
