A-Level - Astrophysics / Astronomy / Cosmology bundle - 12 lessons and powerpoints

(5)
This is a bundle of 12 fully planned lessons and full PowerPoints to assist in the delivery of an Astrophysics course. This not only fully completes the AQA Unit 9 scheme (Optional Astrophysics course) but would be ideal for running a Stretch and Challenge GCSE club This course has excellent ideas, pictures and mathematical solutions to assist in the astrophysics sections of other examination boards This bundle represents a saving of 46% on the purchase price of the lessons separately. Version history: v1.01 - Lesson 28.3 (Charge coupled devices) mathematical error corrected v1.03 - Lesson 28.5 / 28.6 Error in formula corrected and wavelength scale reveres on spectral diagram v1.04 - Lesson 28.10/11 typos corrected and magnitude formula sign altered v1.05 - Lesson 28.12 corrected an error in the maths example. Added a work-through of a second question.
