After one of the biggest moments in UK space history, Year 8 students from The Skinners’ Kent Academy visited the Soyuz capsule at London’s Science Museum. The newly displayed Russian capsule, which carried Tim Peake to and from Space, inspired the students to see how the world of science really can launch you into thinking more deeply about the world in which we live. Being the first human spacecraft to be displayed by the London’s Science Museum, students witnessed first-hand the spacecraft that, although refurbished, still bore the burn marks from the Earth’s atmosphere in June last year.
Year 8 student, Demi Thorn, said, “My favourite part of the visit was the Solar System exhibit because the floor moved and there were different holographic lights representing the Sun, Moon and Stars.”
On the day students also experienced a session in the ‘Wonder-lab’, an interactive gallery highlighting the science and maths behind everyday life.
