GCSE Astronomy Workshop
The Spectrum Place Charity
Our GCSE Astronomy Show is ideal for KS3, KS4, and anyone studying GCSE-level Astronomy and Space Physics as part of a Physics or Triple Science course. We support schools, home educators, and learning centres that find teaching space modules a challenge.We can simulate the formation of the Solar System and its place within the Galaxy. We can also explain redshift and the expanding Universe. Using examples of visible nebulae, we can show the life cycle of stars. These are all topics that are covered by the AQA and Edexcel exam boards.
If you have a small group of students studying GCSE Astronomy, we can run two modules (one per exam paper). This would cover all topics from Planet Earth to Cosmology. This would be an excellent revision day to consolidate learning throughout the course.
