Physicopoeia

Younger pupils will probably be concentrating on the Solar System, about which there is an embarrassment of riches on the web, though it can be difficult to filter out what you really need from the rest. Later on, trickier ideas from Astrophysics and Cosmology start to rear their heads which are often dealt with well in textbooks, but web resources are often aimed at undergraduate level or beyond. Here are some of my resources where I hope I've already done the hard work for you, or ideas for extension:

​

• Solar System resources

• Stellar Evolution resources

• Bringing equations into teaching stellar formation

• Hubble's Law pupil activity (Measuring the Age of the Universe)

• 'Can you give me some advice about buying a telescope/binoculars?'

• Well-known diagrams, as first given by Galileo and Newton
