Summer Project - Prepare for the challenge of A Level Physics
Channel: Kit Betts-Masters
Date: 2019-08-02

Get excited about studying Physics this summer with this, the first of two challenges that I have for you for studying physics.
Make a flowchart of the development of key theories in astrophysics.  Try to include how each astronomer builds upon the theories that came before them.

The list of headings is here, editable by anyone:

And here if you just want to work alone:

email me when you are done!

Use internet research, your textbooks, revision guides and YouTube to create a flowchart of key theories in astrophysics.  I suggest that you keep to these headings, but you are of course welcome to branch out from them.
