Physics introductory lesson to space or solar system (geocentric and heliocentric models). Including historical references to Aristotle, Copernicus and Galileo. Resources include: powerpoint, TPS activity, two choices of video for Galileo, questions for video, newspaper article activity, checklist, peer review, exam practice and multiple choice plenary. I have used this lesson with a top set year 7 and a middle set year 10 with a few adjustments. Links closely to Edexcel P1 specification, but can be used otherwise.

I used this lesson very successfully for an interview and I was offered the job as a result! Suitable for a KS3 group (in particular year 7/8 or low ability year 9), but activities can be adapted quite easily depending on ability. Links in nicely with the activate SOW. File includes: powerpoint (including timers, levelled objectives, colour-coded keywords on each slide), teacher sheet (with information about resources and the practical), worksheet (linked to the different activities) and help sheet.
