Athletic Development - A Psychological Perspective

Overview

The Athletic Development - A Psychological Perspective programme from The Open University UK encompasses two broad themes of ‘Stars and Galaxies’ and ‘Multiwavelength Astronomy’. Starting from cosmic length scales, learn how astronomers measure the Universe – through spectroscopy, imaging and time-variability. 

You’ll learn about the constituents of stars and galaxies, and study their formation, evolution and rebirth through energetic processes. 

To finish, revisit the Universe from the perspective of cosmic time scales. Throughout, alongside astronomy, you’ll develop your computing, maths and physics skills.

What's included

We’ll provide the study materials, study guide, activities, assignments, forums, online tutorial rooms and other resources, via a dedicated website. 

It contains many multimedia materials including audio tracks, videos and animations, as well as interactive activities, all of which help aid your understanding.

Where possible, the materials are also available in other formats – which may include PDF, EPUB, interactive ebook (EPUB3), Kindle ebook and Microsoft Word – to enable you to study on the move.
