Lesson 2: Modeling
Duration of Days: 4
Lesson Objective
I can construct an explanation of the Big Bang theory.
What do you think is the answer? Use your reasoning and create a model. What is the difference between to seen and the unseen? What can’t you see?
Light spectra (red shift), cosmic microwave background radiation, motion of distant galaxies, and the composition of matter in the universe 3/4 Hydrogen and 1/4 Helium.
HS-ESS1-2. Construct an explanation of the Big Bang theory based on astronomical evidence of light spectra, motion of distant galaxies, and composition of matter in the universe.
Students have been exposed to the Big Bang as a phenomenon. In teams, they will create models to answer the questions they developed in the previous lesson. Their models will be scored based on a rubric. DOK 4
