This is a lesson and PowerPoint that explains magnitude of stars, the link between apparent and absolute magnitude, luminosity, the Hipparcos scale, parallax calculations and the Stephen-Boltzmann formula.
This is an 18 page PowerPoint together with detailed lesson plan and experiment idea - enough work to cover two lessons.
As well as supporting A-Level Physics for many exam boards this lesson is also part of a chapter that covers the optional astrophysics unit 9 for AQA
