...chemistry, physics, biology, environmental science and ethics in science for you to study. It does not matter which order you study the different taster courses in. This suite of courses consists of 3 different blocks of study, each of which should take you about 3 hours. The blocks have been adapted from the s111 Open University module Questions in science, an...

...chemistry that might come from that, which might include prebiotic chemistry, a precursor to something like life. The oceans lie beneath a thick ice shell – on Jupiter’s moon Europa, the ice is perhaps 20km thick. But the transition between water and ice on Europa is very gradual, unlike the sharp change we see on Earth. Europa might have a flexible layer of ice...

...chemistry of everyday substances, the mechanics of plate tectonics, or the physics behind the Sun’s enduring shine, these videos will provide you with insights. And if these videos pique your interest, you can further your scientific journey with our introductory science module, ‘Questions in Science’, where you will learn to develop your own scientific thinking and...

...chemistry, physics, Earth sciences, environmental science, or planetary science. If you already have an undergraduate degree and would like to extend your knowledge further, you might be interested in our postgraduate module T868: Environmental Monitoring and Protection, which discusses different environmental monitoring techniques for noise, water, air and wastes, and...

...chemistry, the spacecraft will use infrared and ultraviolet cameras to seek chemical compounds from the ocean at Europa’s surface. While Europa’s ocean is hidden underneath kilometres of solid ice, it’s young surface is covered in evidence for recent geological activity that could have brought ocean water up from below. Salts and other chemical compounds have...
