TRUMP Part 1: Introduction to Astrophysics
This introductory part of the TRUMP Astrophysics package gave an overview of the current picture of the Universe. It provided some information relating to telescopes and observations, and ended with two examples of physics in astronomy: • the use of line spectra to estimate the age of the Universe and • the use of line…
TRUMP Part 3: Star Formation and Evolution
This part of the TRUMP Astrophysics resource package dealt with the formation, evolution and 'death' of stars. Like all other parts of the TRUMP package, this part contains study notes (self-study material for teachers), teaching notes and photocopiable student sheets. This part formed a sequel to Part 2 of the package,…
TRUMP Part 6: Galaxies, Cosmology and Relativity
This part of the TRUMP Astrophysics resource package dealt with with galaxies, the history and future of the Universe, and special relativity. Like all other parts of the TRUMP package, this part contains study notes (self-study material for teachers), teaching notes and photocopiable student sheets. This part drew on some material…
TRUMP Part 4: Planets and Orbits
This part of the TRUMP Astrophysics resource package dealt with historical and modern observations of planets and their orbital motions. Like all other parts of the TRUMP package, this part contains study notes (self-study material for teachers), teaching notes and photocopiable student sheets. This part drew on some material…
TRUMP Part 2: Observational Properties of Astronomical Objects
Part 2 of the TRUMP Astrophysics resource package dealt with the observational properties of astronomical objects and was therefore concerned with the analysis and interpretation of observations. Like Part 1 of the TRUMP package, this part contained study notes (self-study material for teachers), teaching notes and photocopiable…
TRUMP Part 5: Telescopes and Instruments
This part of the TRUMP Astrophysics resource package dealt with the design and performance of astronomical telescopes and instruments. Like all other parts of the TRUMP package, this part contains study notes (self-study material for teachers), teaching notes and photocopiable student sheets. This part drew on some material from…
