The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) has been working with the National Space Academy to update their “Borrow the Moon” kit – which can now be loaned to schools.
These packs feature samples of rock brought back from the moon by the Apollo mission astronauts, as well as a meteorite from Mars, which students are able to handle.
The packs now include a meteorite hunter’s kit, a new teacher planning pack and new web-based resources and online support videos for all age groups. The number of kits available to schools has also increased from four to six.
STFC is the only authorised source for the loan of the Apollo lunar samples to educational or scientific organisations within the UK and these packages are available free of charge to schools, including special security delivery/collection.
