Hunting For Asteroids
Aimed at pupils aged 11-14 this workshop encourages pupils to ‘blink’ between several images, taken by the Liverpool Telescope, in a bid to find asteroids. The activity can then be extended to them using the LT Image software functionality to calculate the speed of the asteroids, or simply a discussion on what asteroids are and how we track them.

Momentum

If something is moving, it will keep going in the same direction, and at the same speed unless it is changed by a force, such as someone pushing or pulling it.
This is called momentum
