Welcome to this Space Exploration challenge. In this activity, you will create a Space Spin-Off Impact Report that helps a real audience understand an important question about space, science and society. You will investigate how space research and space technology can create benefits on Earth, while also checking claims carefully so you do not repeat […]
Choose Your Tools
Pick the tools that work best on your device. The skill matters more than the software. Chromebook, Windows, Mac and iPad users can all complete this activity successfully.
Use these to investigate reliable information, compare sources and keep track of evidence.
Use this to write plans, notes, briefings, reflections or structured written work.
Use this to build comparison tables, risk registers, rankings or simple evidence logs.
Use this to turn your final work into a clear presentation or briefing.
Use this to create infographics, design boards, maps, posters or visual reports.
Help learners choose a clear audience and final format for their Space Spin-Off Impact Report. Ask them to explain what they are making before they begin, then support them to gather evidence, organise ideas and improve clarity without completing the work for them.
Successful work should include a focused audience and impact area, a research log with source notes, a myth check section, an impact comparison table and a final judgement about which examples have the strongest real-world value.
Simplify by offering a list of verified examples and starter sources. Extend by asking learners to distinguish between invented by, improved by, adapted from and enabled by space research.
This connects to innovation, science communication, product development, public investment, journalism, business, health, climate monitoring and evidence-checking in media.
