Hello Castletown, we’re NUSTEM. We’re based at Northumbria University, and we work across the region supporting children, families and teachers in exploring science, technology, engineering and maths. We’re particularly keen to help people recognise that careers in these STEM subjects are available to them.
On this page you’ll find a summary of the things we’ve done with your school, and links to follow-up activities you can do at home.
Our work with Castle Town is part of the Exploring Extreme Environments project, funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council.
Iron meteorite from Chaco, Argentina. One of the ‘Campo del Cielo’ fragments first found in 1576.
This morning Year 3 became geologists and investigated rocks from space. For more information about geologists and meteorites, visit our Geologist page.
To use objects from around your home to create your own meteorite impact craters- just like those we can see on the moon, visit our STEM at Home Impact Craters page.
Today Year 3 became geologists and investigate meteorites – rocks from space!. For more activities to try at home, go to our meteor crater activity.
Today Year 1 became naval architects and designed and made boats. To try our activity at home using a piece of tin foil and some coins, go to our NUSTEM at home foil boats page.
