Lesson idea. Lesson 5 of a series of 6 entitled “Astronomy masterclass” (SC0018).
Teaching approach. The lesson initially looks at time travel, however the overriding theme is that of modelling(ta) and scientific method(ta). It aims to show students that it is acceptable to get a result that doesn't fit with what you expect. It just means you need to change what you expect next time! (edit)
