Space - Is there anybody out there? is the quest to discover more about our solar system by gathering potential evidence of life on the planet Mars, and exploring the geographical surface of the planet looking for landing sites. This offers activities for upper key stage 2, plus some transition activities for year 7 pupils. This pilot will take place in the first half of the spring term.
