Objective:

In this lesson we will investigate the evidence for the Big Bang Theory so you can summarize this evolutionary model.

Task 1

  • Describe how you feel about this theory before examining this evidence.
  • What evidence would convince you that the Big Bang Theory is correct?
  • How would you expect scientists to find that evidence?
  • How would you want that evidence conveyed to you?

Return to the topic several times over the next few days. Read over your classmates responses and reply to 2 of them making sure to ask questions and encourage further discussion. Use the discussion rubric and netiquette rules.
