An overview of of six astronomy-related lessons resources (SC019 to SC0024)

Lesson idea. This is an overview of a collection of six astronomy-related lessons.

Teaching approach. The Astronomy Master Class was developed to inspire the next generation of scientists and in particular physicists. Although this course of 6 lessons is framed mostly around the science of astronomy, it draws on many themes from physics and aims to show how they all can link together. Additionally, it is structured so that it deliberately does not cut across material in most standard GCSE science courses and does not aim to answer every question. A deliberate part of the design was to visit each topic area only briefly and leave students hungry for more. (edit)
