BAE Systems, in collaboration with the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force, were welcomed to Chatham Grammar to deliver the educational science road show, ‘From the Bottom of the Sea to Space’.

The science road show took students on a journey from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space! Year 7 and Year 8 students thoroughly enjoyed the fun-filled road show, gaining a better understanding of our place in the solar system, how engineering will allow us to explore more of these unchartered areas, and the science and technology needed to survive in these extreme environments.

A five metre diameter inflatable model of the Sun next to a marble, as a scale representation of the Earth, was displayed to show students just how expansive the solar system is. The demonstration brought the science concepts to life for students.
