This resource is part of our Where maths meets the world of work series, which showcases the maths used in different careers. Each video is also linked to one or more activities, so your students can get a real taste of what the career may entail.
In this video, you hear from Jackie, a Particle physicist, mathematician and aspiring astronaut about how maths is vital for her career.
The video and accompanying resources have been designed so that they can be completed in one hour, but there are plenty of opportunities to extend them further or use as part of home learning.
