Expanding Universe Teaching Resources The euclid mission is designed to study dark matter and dark energy to answer big questions about why our universe is expanding faster and faster. The universe began in a big bang nearly fourteen billion years ago, and has been expanding ever since. but how does the universe expand and what is it expanding into? sajan saini explains the existing theories around the big bang and what, if anything, lies beyond our universe.
The Expanding Universe Teaching Resources This interactive resource explores the science behind the universe ’s expansion, the latest astronomical discoveries, and predictions for the future of space exploration. In this activity, learners pull at the edges of a stretchy model universe and see that the space between objects in the universe is expanding. this activity includes a hands on model of the way the universe is expanding—and how it has been expanding since the big bang. In this activity, participants use balloons to model the expansion of the universe and observe how expansion affects wavelengths of light and distance between galaxies. Our observations of the redshifts of light from galaxies allows us to develop a model of how the universe is expanding. using this model, we can make predictions about how other locations in the universe will observe expansion. our observations tell us that the universe is expanding uniformly.

Following closely along with the aqa gcse physics book, this lesson powerpoint covers chapter 16.4: the expanding universe. the lesson objectives are: what is meant by the red shift of a light source how red shift depends on speed how people know that the distant galaxies are moving away from earth why people think the universe is expanding. In this lesson plan from worldwide telescope ambassadors, students use an interactive to visit a set of galaxies to collect evidence for the big bang theory of an expanding universe. The universe began in a big bang nearly fourteen billion years ago, and has been expanding ever since. but how does the universe expand and what is it expanding into? sajan saini explains the existing theories around the big bang and what, if anything, lies beyond our universe. This unit provides opportunities for your students to learn about the way the universe expands, and how this leads to more distant galaxies moving away from us faster.
