The Big Bang - Worksheet & Questions

How was the Universe created? Human beings have been asking this question for centuries.

This fantastic resource teaches students about the well-accepted Big Bang theory, i.e. how the Universe expanded from a singularity. I created this lesson as an introduction to our unit on Space because I figured my students needed to know how the Universe expanded before we could understand and appreciate any other Space related topic.

This lesson is part of a 5-lesson introductory unit on Space (Click here to purchase all 5 lessons together). After teaching the 5 lessons, I ask the students to complete a research project on any space related topic of their choosing (Click here to purchase Space Project for $2). I am always amazed at how interested my students are in Space and how motivated they are to learn more about it. Have fun!!

- A definition of the Universe

- A discussion of the expansion of Space

- Astronomer, Georges Lemaitre's great idea

- Description of the Big Bang
