Today in class we discussed the Big Bang theory about the origin of the Universe.
We read pages 114-115 then sketched stars onto a balloon and measured the distance between them. We then blew up the balloon and remeasured the distance. We found that the distance between each star became greater. This modelled how astronomers observed that all the stars and the galaxies we see are getting further apart from us and each other.
Finally we worked on a critical thinking worksheet entitled "Fleabert and the amazing watermelon seed". A copy of this worksheet can be found on my website.
