This instructional plan outlines a lesson on the expanding universe theory. The objectives are for students to observe an expanding universe model, gather evidence for the Big Bang theory, and understand that more distant galaxies are receding faster. Activities include discussing the age and future of the universe, and doing an activity with a balloon to model expansion. Students will then answer questions about the activity and evidence supporting the Big Bang theory. The lesson aims to help students understand the historical development of theories explaining the origin and evolution of the universe.

Students will put the materials -How will I connect in their tables. Discuss the nature of the my new lesson with activity. Ask them if they have questions the past lesson? and clarifications of the activity. Presentation - (How will I present Analysis Teacher to roam around and see to it that the new lesson? students are following the procedure. -What materials will I use? Let the students answer the following -What questions: generalization/ 1. As the balloon (i.e. the Universe) concept/ conclusion/ expands what happens to the dots (i.e. abstraction should galaxies)? the learners arrive 2. If you started with a fully expanded at? balloon (i.e. the Universe), and ran this experiment in reverse what would happen to the dots (i.e. the galaxies)? 3. Which measuring tool was more accurate? Why? 4. In this experiment our breath caused the balloon (i.e. the Universe) to expand, what caused the actual Universe to expand? Abstraction Use the strategy 3-2-1 Summarizer: Students state 3 things they learned, 2 ways the information relates to them personally, and 1 question they have about the material Practice Application Answer the following questions: -What practice 1.

Knowledge Process or Skills Understanding(s) Scientists say that the accelerating expansion may be due to dark energy, a property of space that opposes gravity. Other scientists question whether their theory of gravity was correct to begin with. Which of these two statements do you agree with and why? Products/Performance (Transfer of Understanding) Assignment Reinforcing the day’s lesson Enriching the day’s What new discoveries does modern lesson scientist have regarding the Big bang theory? Read and watch the latest facts on the universe by Charles Choi in his “Our Expanding Universe Age, History and other facts” (accessed on 9 November 2015) List down at least five new pieces of information you picked up about the universe in its beginnings.

What evidence did scientist have to support for protoplanet theory? 4. What evidence did scientist have to support for tidal theory? 5. What makes the nebular theory a theory and not a law? 6.
