Astronomymasterclasstitlepage.png
An introduction to the creation of the Universe.

Lesson idea. This session looks at the the standard particle model and the work to re-create the conditions present in the early universe. This is session 4 of a series of 6 entitled Astronomy Master Class.

Teaching approach. This presentation offers a tour of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and explains why it is worth spending money on one experiment. It then delves into particle physics, looking at sub-atomic particles to offer analogies for what these particles are. The session focuses on whole class(ta) dialogue(ta) and higher order(ta) thinking skills as well as exploring scientific language(ta). This 4th session and the 5th are together the most theoretically complex and they present challenges to young peoples world views. As such they are led as much by their questions(ta) as by the presentation. (edit)
