North Devon College Brings Space Science to Life with Inspiring Lunar Exhibition
Bringing space down to earth, the A Level team showcased an exciting Space Exhibition exploring how scientists study the Moon, uncover evidence about its origins, and use real scientific investigation to drive space research.
The exhibition welcomed visiting pupils from Sticklepath Primary School and Bishop’s Tawton Primary School, who spent the day exploring the fascinating world of lunar and space science. From examining space-related samples to discovering how scientists learn more about the Moon, pupils were encouraged to get curious, ask questions and explore new ideas.
A collection of space materials, on loan through a national space science programme, gave pupils a rare chance to engage with real scientific resources and see how evidence is used to understand our universe. Hands-on activities and interactive displays helped bring complex ideas to life, making science feel accessible, exciting and relevant.
North Devon College’s A Level students played a central role in the day, welcoming visitors, explaining concepts and sharing their enthusiasm for the subject. Acting as guides throughout the exhibition, they helped younger learners navigate the displays while developing their own confidence, communication and leadership skills.
Staff were impressed by the enthusiasm and curiosity shown by the visiting pupils, whose thoughtful questions and excitement made the day a pleasure to host. North Devon College would like to thank everyone involved in making the exhibition such a success, with special thanks to the A Level students whose energy and professionalism helped create a memorable experience for all.
