Hunting for Spectra

2020-07-29
By Maura Sandri
On 29 July 2020

With this making lab, you will discover some aspects of light, while building a real scientific instrument – namely, a spectroscope. This is a basic astronomical tool, which allows us to study the chemical composition and the physical state of the celestial objects we observe. Obviously, the spectroscope you will build is not exactly like those used by astronomers in order to observe the stars, but it does work well, and will enable you to break down the light of surrounding sources into a rainbow of colours. You will discoverLEGGI TUTTO

What’s your weight in the Solar System?

On 13 July 2020

With this activity, you will find out what is your weight on the various planets of the Solar System. You will do this by coding with a real programming language: Scratch. In the end, you can share your program so that anyone can use it, even older people, who will have fun discovering how much comforting it could be to weigh themselves on Mars, rather than on Jupiter 😛 Let’s start by downloading the pictures of the planets, which will become our sprites: an image for each planet. In orderLEGGI TUTTO

A gravitational scale with Arduino

2020-07-13
By Federico Di Giacomo
On 13 July 2020

Through this activity you will find out how much you weigh on the Moon and on the other Planets of the Solar System. During this activity we will use the Arduino UNO board. It is a hardware platform used to build robotics, electronics and automation projects, on which a software (in C language) is loaded that will allow you to control a series of sensors, connected to the board, and interact with them. In addition to the Arduino UNO board, we will use 9 buttons, one for each Planet of theLEGGI TUTTO

Make your own astro-documentary with Scratch

2020-07-03
By Maura Sandri
On 3 July 2020

With this simple activity, you will be able to make an astronomical documentary, and then share it with anyone you want! You will learn a lot about Astronomy, and you will write a code (yes! like a coder) using an actual programming language: Scratch. In the end, you will be able to show your astro-documentary to friends, family and teachers, and you will realize that it is very useful to share what you have learnt about the marvels of the Universe. Let’s start! First of all, install – either on yourLEGGI TUTTO
