Multiwavelength Universe

Community   5 members

The "Multiwavelength Universe" lesson plans allows you to explore the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum in the context of astronomical objects in a highly interactive environment.

Students will learn how the appearance of objects changes with various wavelengths and the resulting different technologies that are used to cover these wavelengths. Depending on the time available, students will learn about the opacity of the atmosphere and can then proceed to design their own space telescope. Lesson plans are laid out over 50 minute lessons and offer questions of varying difficulty. They aim to support the UK curriculum for GCSE Physics - the electromagetic (EM) spectrum as well as Light, telescopes and images.
