Popis: This resource was developed to help bring this exciting area of research into the classroom. It consists of two practical activities appropriate for the K12 curriculum.Each of the activities is standalone, takes around 60 minutes to complete and can be used either during lessons or as part of a science club. Each offers plenty of opportunity for extension work and includes a taking it further section to allow students to build on what they have learnt through independent research. The activities can be used individually, or in combination. We have already implemented them during the astrophysics summer courses we offer to school students at the National Observatory of Athens, with great success.
