About This Product

The Big Bang Theory - This Three-Day senior Earth and Space lesson package includes the lesson (student and teacher versions of the presentation), an auto-graded Exit Ticket, FOUR videos, and a student lesson handout as a document. The presentation is fun and applicable with many opportunities for inquiry-based learning and discussion. The presentation covers a lot of content and is meant to be delivered over a two to three-day stretch.

In order, the lesson covers:

- Cosmology

- Big Bang Theory Timeline

- From Energy → Matter

- Nuclear Fusion

- The Fate of the Universe?

- Edwin Hubble

- The Doppler Effect

- Electromagnetic Spectrum

- Cosmological Redshift

- Gravitational Redshift

- Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

Included in the lesson package is:

Google and Office versions of each resource
The teacher version of the presentation
The student version of the presentation
Auto-graded Exit Ticket
SEVEN videos embedded into the presentation
Student lesson handout

The student version of the presentation contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
