Planet Science was originally launched as a Millennium project
nurtured by NESTA and previously funded by the Department of
Education and Skills; in 2010 it has begun its move to a new
environment with a re-launch under the ownership and guidance of
Tinopolis Interactive.
Planet Science exists to offer young scientists of school age
the inspiration and excitement that will support their study of
science at school and beyond. Planet Science is there to support
classrooms, curriculum, textbooks and teachers - but not by going
over the same ground as they cover. Instead, our mission is to
tickle your curiosity, excite your interest, and unleash your
passions in science.
You'll find that we may not (yet) cover every single point of
science that you are interested in. But we do aim that in
everything you do and see on the site, you find the thrills of
discovery, working it out, and understanding what makes things
tick.
Primary school learners, whose science curriculum is quite
broad, have their own section of the site, as do Secondary School
students, whose approach is more structured by different science
disciplines. Parents and Teachers looking for ideas and inspiration
about supporting scientific talent in the young, also have their
own section.
All the material on this site is cleared for educational
use.
