A class activity for KS3 Earth in space unit. Students sort the milestones in astronomy into chronological order. The resource contains fifteen milestone cards and a set of illustrations that match. Give each student a statement card or a picture card and ask them to find their partner. 

Students match the cards and attach them to a class timeline to show how astronomy has developed since 100 AD. There are eight further cards that each describe another development, ask students to suggest where they would fit on the timeline.
