WELCOME TO OUR SCIENCE SPACE!

This is the place where you can follow 1st ESOB students´steps in their journey through natural science: from the broadest (the universe), to the smallest (the atom).
We will share our experiences here, we´ll practise what we learn in class, we´ll link to interesting websites to learn more about science topics and we´ll even have the chance to play games and have fun!!

Why not start having a look at our galaxy and our solar system? Link to the following website and do an activity that is "out of this world"!: Astronomy and space science activity. Watch the video and do the quiz. Good luck!
