This is a fully-resourced revision lesson that has been written to include a wide range of activities that challenge the students on their knowledge of astrophysics as detailed in topic 8 of the Pearson Edexcel IGCSE Physics specification. The numerous quiz rounds which include “Shine a LIGHT on any ERRORS” will engage and motivate their students whilst they assess their understanding of the content and recognise any areas that require further attention.
The lesson has been designed to include as many of the specification points as possible but the following have been given particular attention:
- Understanding of the terms Solar system, galaxy and universe
- Gravitational field strength varies on different planets
- Gravitational force causes the Moon to orbit the Earth and the planets to orbit the Sun
- Use the relationship between orbital speed, orbital radius and time period
- Evolution of stars of a similar mass to our Sun and of stars with larger masses
- The evidence that supports the Big Bang theory
- The change in the frequency and wavelength of a wave if the source of the wave is moving in relation to the observer
- Red-shift as evidence of an expanding universe
This topic contains a number of principles or theories which can be poorly understood by students so extra time has been taken to guide them in the formation of descriptions and explanations.
