I am currently an A-Level student, particularly interested in physics, maths, chemistry and astronomy, who studied GCSE astronomy from 2013 to 2015. I have made this revision and learning resource for anyone interested in astronomy and any GCSE astronomy students.
astronomy2GCSE is an online education resource, the current (as I speak) GCSE syllabus will be covered in 15 videos.

A homemade Rubens' tube

I made a Rubens' tube to demonstrate how sound is a pressure wave. This is the result after a couple of hours of experimenting, with hole sizes and music! The songs are from the Waiting for Cousteau album by Jean Michele Jarre.

An introduction to: Feynman diagrams. A video version of a talk I gave to my physics society. This gives a brief explanation of the standard model and then goes onto some of the basics of constructing simple Feynman diagrams. I then go through some exampleThe links in the video ars, like beta minus decay. This does assume some knowledge of sub-atomic particles. My questions on TES: www.tes.com/...

Got my exam tomorrow, this is the only revision I've done, thanks for helping, these vids are great
my exam is tomorrow doing some revision thank you these videos are amazing!
Great help thanks
Thank you so much for these videos ! My exam is next week and this has been a great help .
Great Video! One of the best explanations of Feynman diagrams yet! Keep up the good work
Having watched some of these, i have to say i think you have done a fantastic job. Well presented, articulately delivered. I wish i had found some of this material ages ago would have helped our students! Well done, are you doing any for the new format?
If you would like to tutor for me, give me a shout. www.onlineastronomycourses.co.uk Is it possible to contact you somehow?
Does this video series cover absolutely EVERYTHING you need to know?
A brilliantly detailed explanation. Thank you!
Hi would you ever consider doing online tutoring One on one?
everybody should subscribe ! !
Do I have to do the controlled assessment if I'm planning to do this privately? my school doesn't offer this course but I want to learn this.
Thank you soo much for the info. I will ask my teacher in school:)
Thank you so much! These videos are amazing and make everything so clear and concise:D I have recommended them to everyone that I know taking astronomy.
Good clear summary, thanks
I am so thankful for you! I did my gcse astronomy exam in may and the only reason i got a B is because of you! thank you!!!
Thank you very much, these videos are really helping. However, at 0:55, you labelled the Sea of Tranquillity incorrectly. You pointed the arrow at Sea of Serenity, Sea of Tranquillity is just below it, and they almost joined.
What exam board is this?
Thanks! You really helped me out a lot!
hey man i got an a in my astronomy gcse :D thanks for the videos i thought they really helped
+astronomy2GCSE :D
I got an A*, even if it was by one mark. Thanks a lot.
i had to cheek if i got the multipule choice question on Orion correct. and i bloody did
how did people find the exam??? no recycled questions! it was barbaric, but i think i did ok...
how did people find the exam?
it wasnt so hard, but none of the questions were recycled.... what did anyone put 4 the 'how else did copernicus's theory improve on past ideas' question?
I swear to anyone who just did the exam it was much harder than all the past papers
Totally agree, did you get -46.5 and -41.5 apparent magnitude on the 3rd last question
Thrift - Jacob Not sure, did you convert kpc to pc first i nearly forgot
+KGX yeh I did that
Seen as the apparent magnitude from earth was brighter than the absolute magnitude which was something like -22.0 from only 10pc away. I think you have done something wrong. I dont think it would be that bright from earth
remember it phonetically, so obaf g km, like roy g biv
Hey great videos, they were recommended by a friend. What A-Levels do you study?
Wow, that's exactly what i'm picking. We have our GCSE astronomy exam today.
How was it?
I have my exam tomorrow... thank-you so much for these videos!!
Thank you so much for these videos - my teacher isn't great and we've not even finished the syllabus, but the exams tomorrow!! So hopefully I can get through all of these videos by then... I really wish I'd found them beforehand...
*sits down. Sets video speed to 1.5. Crams. *
+Gredore Same, good luck!
Oh Bother A Fat Giraff Kicked Me mnemomic!!!!
c in course work, b in both mocks, hoping 4 an A!!!!
3 days to go....
Thanks mate you've probably saved me my grade in my exam
thankyou for being alive
THANK YOU
You may have singlehandedly saved my grade. Thanks so much!
This was so helpful! My astronomy exam is in less than a week and I'm currently doing awful, hopefully after some revision and the rest of these videos I can improve my grade!
+Emily Collinson same
Same leleelellelelel
got an exam in 10 days !!! thanks for these videos they're really helping
Oh hey Rowan
Astronomy exam is in 8 days and I have tried many past papers and I seem to be hitting 80% + in most of them. Thanks for all your useful videos and I hope I can mantain 80%+ in my exam :)
ur vids are awesome!
you are one of the only you tube channels actually making good GCSE astronomy revision videos many people owe their astronomy GCSEs to your videos
Thanks so much man, got my exam in a couple of weeks!!!
I just got my coursework back from my teacher, she gave me 29 marks out of 40. What did you get in your coursework and how much easier did it make it to get an A*
+astronomy2GCSE Thanks a lot.
Thank you for these excellent videos! They are really helping with my GCSE
I just want to say thanks for these videos i am doing my astronomy exam on the 20th may and this will surely help with my revision.
Lol same mate, thanks for the help and good luck to you!
Me too
+999sian same
Same here
What grade did you get at GCSE? Also at A-Level if you have taken the exam.
This is great! How important is maths when it comes to astronomy?
the milky way is a barred spiral galaxy
You are possibly the greatest man to walk the earth.... Could I get some form of contacting you? Im studying for the gcse alone and could really use some form of help...
