October 18/19th, Monday/Tuesday

Well, we had a pretty crazy week last week.  This week looks a lot easier to figure out and I think it's back to normal.

Today we really dove into our Big Bang Cosmology unit looking at how or model's for the Solar System and Universe have changed over the centuries.  We ended in the middle of looking at the Big Bang and it's prediction for the existence of Dark Matter and Dark Energy. 

Next class we're going to pick it up there after doing a lab looking at how galaxies are moving apart from each other.  You can grab the power point I used here: Cosmology Power Point provided by the universe forum and the note sheet to go along with them, HERE.


Remember the Big Bang is a model the best describes how the universe evolved.  So far, it's been very good at predicting and explaining the observed phenomena, but it only takes one piece of evidence that doesn't fit for the paradigm to shift.

Have a good night,
