This is an amazing site that involves data storage on the hard drive for telescopic data (don't know if that's from your own studies or from a supernetworked computer like the radiotelescope for aliens).

Be sure to start with the interaction tours

Key-Words for Science

A series of word games designed to reinforce the key-words used in Key Stage 3 Science. The program selects a randonm key-word within the topic and pupils have to guess the letters present. The guessed letters can be entered via the on-screen keyboard. Each time a wrong letter is entered a 'life' is lost. A list of the key-words used can be downloaded from the link below.

Hang-man or Wheel of Fortune-like activity making a game out of associating words with concepts. Has sets for all of KS3 vocabulary.

FANTASTIC! "This site offers a growing bank of imaginative, highly visual teaching-aids developed for use with interactive whiteboards in 11-18 Schools.

The resources are designed to be used as rich sources of visually stimulating material, making use of both animations and drag and drop interactivity. The appropriate Key Stage is indicated for each resource.

It is hoped that the resources will help students to make sense of some of the more challenging concepts they encounter.

Many of the resources can be used to support starter or plenary activities.

"Ocean Life
Fish are part of the ocean ecosystem. These fish shine in the clear blue water.
The oceans are full of life. A variety of animals and plants must survive together. Invertebrates like crabs, starfish and worms roam the sea floors. Coral grow in large numbers, creating a home for these creatures. All of these animals are called invertebrates, because they don't have a backbone.
Meanwhile, schools of fish roam the depths also looking for a bite to eat. The triggerfish looks for a wandering crab in a reef while a group of tuna pass by. They must stay alert, because the ferocious tiger shark is looking for its prey.
In shallow depths, the plant life flourishes. Sunlight beams down on the different types of algae. These simple plants serve as food for many animals of the sea. Not only are they important to the food chain, they are also used by people in toothpaste, make-up and even clothes!
In the deeper parts of the ocean, the largest animal known is swimming around. The giant blue whale, which can reach 80 feet in length, is a mammal. A family of dolphins plays nearby, but must beware of the pod of killer whales looking for a meal.
Together, these plants and animals make up what we call sea life. Scientists say that life began in the seas, which means that without these creatures, we would not exist. Use the table below to learn all about different sea life.
One way to explore ocean life is by scuba diving. Another way is to use a deep-sea submersible like the Alvin. "
