How is the Universe going to end?

As incredible as it sounds, the Big Bang Theory is supported by a growing body of evidence. If the universe started with ‘a big bang’ that begs the question, how is it all going to end? Or, is the universe going to end?

West Ada LEARNING CYCLE

To the left is our West Ada Academies Learning Cycle. This course is designed with content that fits into one of five categories: Engage, Explore, Practice, Apply, and Reflect. You will move through the stages of the learning cycle as you engage in the studio's driving questions, and then learn, practice, and apply the target skills listed above. When you get to the apply stage, you will make a presentation or use another method to show what you know. Finally, at each Milestone and again at the end of the studio, you will reflect on your project and what you have learned.

ICONS TO KNOW

Throughout the course you will see these two icons. They will tell you whether you are able to complete each assignment individually, or whether it must be done collaboratively (with a partner or group).
