Geocentric vs. Heliocentric lesson

Hey guys, long time, no post.  I've been working hard in my classroom this year and once again we are covering astronomy, or as we like to call it ASTROPHYSICS to make it sound even more awesome than it already is.  Below I wanted to share a PowerPoint presentation on the geocentric vs. heliocentric models.  I know as teachers we're always busy and don't get a chance to sit down and create things like we may want to, so feel free to "steal" this for a lesson if you need.  I believe all great teachers "steal" and swap ideas with each other.
