As well as the planetarium Sadie and her team have many astronomy outreach talks (in powerpoint presentation form) and hands-on space and astronomy work shops which we can offer schools for FREE.

All talks are about 30-50 minutes in length. I will require a projector and screen at the location, but can provide own laptop and dvi cable.

This talk includes use of inflatable planets for Primary-Year 7 students to help them learn the order of the planets in our solar system. We also discuss where aliens might be able to live in the solar system and the Universe and talk about exoplanets and what these Aliens might look like :)

presented by Astronomy Undergrads and PhD students or Sadie.

- This talk is presented by Sadie and incudes discussion of her PhD research into supermassive black holes, and comparison to the smaller black holes.

Send Sadie an email if you want her or one of the team to come to the school to give this Primary of these talks/workshops.

There is also a list of other University of Southampton staff from the department of Physics and Astronomy who are happy to give talks to schools on the

As with the planetarium, speakers can only come to schools within a 1 hour travel limit from the University.
