Resources by University of York Science Education Group (UYSEG)

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.

The Teaching Resources Unit for Modern Physics (TRUMP) is a collaboration between school teachers and academic experts whose aim is to support the teaching of modern physics in post-16 courses.

The Astrophysics package was published in 1997. It was written primarily to support modules currently available in...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
