This lesson delves into how modern telescopes utilize various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum to expand our understanding of the universe. We will explore why some telescopes are positioned outside Earth's atmosphere to gather data free from atmospheric interference. Students will work collaboratively to identify key aspects of the electromagnetic spectrum, note deliberate errors in statements, and enhance their understanding through peer interactions. This activity aims to foster critical thinking and teamwork while improving knowledge of astronomical tools and concepts.

Seeing deep into the past Exploring the Universe
Describe regions of the electromagnetic spectrum are used by modern telescopes Explain why some telescopes are located outside the Earth's atmosphere Describe how modern telescopes have expanded our understanding of the universe Learning Objectives
Write 5 statements about the electromagnetic spectrum 3 Statements must have a deliberate error in them Table group working
Ok swap your work with another table Can you find the three deliberate mistakes Table working
Describe regions of the electromagnetic spectrum that are used by modern telescopes Explain why some telescopes are located outside the Earth's atmosphere Describe how modern telescopes have expanded our understanding of the universe Learning Objectives
Working in table groups One person must go out into the rejoins of space (the classroom) and look for information required by your group. They must memorise their findings and report back. To boldly go where no student has been Before
Your spaceman has returned. Fill in your worksheet with the information they have memorised. Swap roles and repeat until your worksheet is full. To boldly go where no student has been Before

In your books produce a mind map of this topic Title is – Exploring the universe You have 5 mins Silent working – don’t copy anyone
Ok, you have produced a great mind map Now swap it with another person not on your table Read theirs and improve it – different colour pen, you have 3 mins Silent working – don’t copy anyone
Now swap it with another person not on your table Read theirs and improve it – different colour pen, you have 3 mins Silent working – don’t copy anyone
Now find your map Have a read of it, Share it with your table Improve it even further Discussion time

Now write a paragraph about this topic Include key words and as much detail as possible, this is the secret to improve your grades. I am going to pick on some people so be ready Consolidation time / Silent working
OK I will ask some people to read their paragraphs out. Listen to their answers and bullet point and areas you have missed. Listen and improve
Look at the new points you have written down Now re-write your paragraph to include all relevant detail. Don’t forget to use key words Think and improve
