Dark Matter Day 2022 (31st October)
October 31st marks not only Halloween, but also Dark Matter Day. This ‘mysterious’ topic is a great one to cover in class at this time of year, especially as a way to work on students’ debate skills when it comes to the different theories surrounding dark matter. We loved these resources and fun infographic from interactions.org to help you get started!
