P9 - Describe the composition of the solar system
P10 - Identify evidence that shows how the universe is changing
M5 - Describe the main theory of how the universe was formed
M6 - Explain how the evidence shows that the universe is changing
D5 - Evaluate the main theory of how the universe was formed
Make a poster showing the order of the planets & annotate it with information about the planets.
Describe the composition of the solar system.
-what is the name of our galaxy?
what is the name of our solar system?
-what are the planets in our solar system?
-what is the order of the planets from the sun?
-what are conditions like on these planets?
-what are the special features of the planets?
-what are the sizes of the planets?
-what are the distances between the planets & their distances from the sun?
-what other objects are there in space other than planets?
P9
|
What evidence is there that the universe is changing?
e.g. what is redshift (Doppler effect)?
P10
|
Describe how the big bang theory of how the universe was formed.
M5
|
Evaluate the big bang theory.
-How sure are you that the theory is correct?
-consider arguments for & against the big bang theory.
Hint:
· Find out about the findings of NASA Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) in 1992 about cosmic background radiation as evidence of the big bang.
D5

How does the evidence show that the universe is changing?
-Explain redshift shows that the universe is changing.
Keywords:
Redshift, Doppler effect, electromagnetic spectrum, light,
wavelength, frequency, galaxy.
M6
|
Evaluate this evidence that the universe is changing:
-What is the evidence for & against the universe changing?
-How reliable is the evidence?
-What is the future of the universe?
· Continue to expand forever?
· Expansion will slow down?
· The expansion will stop & reverse until the universe collapses into a massive black hole (singularity)?
