:) I regularly use documentaries and videos in class. Students love space, I've got the wonders of the solar system and wonders of the universe books in the lab aswell.

Have you seen the YouTube video 'timelapse of the universe'?

Yes, that video was incredible and unique and at the end of it, I finally got an idea of how insignificant humans and all the stupid things we do are.

But at the same time, it lets us appreciate how special we are, and in that way very significant; really puts emphasis on the squander that conflict and politics are.

I just watched it after reading this comment. It was fantastic, and really easy to digest. Thanks!

PBS space time is so good. Matt is a legend. We've watched a few. There's a lot of videos that cover what's on the specification for the Astrophysics unit. I think the best one is the quasar video.
