2. Agenda 1.Do Now – Class Work Grade 2.Objective 3.Guided Notes & Videos 4.Big Bang Balloon Lab – Lab Report Grade 5.Exit Ticket Objective SWBAT outline Big Bang Theory as it relates to the expanding universe & astronomical hierarchy

3. The Formation of the Universe Discuss with your classmates why the statement on this poster is inaccurate.

4. Big Bang Theory... The show? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW- hDvlzBGY

5. Big Bang Theory At one time, the universe was a dense, hot, supermassive ball. About 13.7 billion years ago, a violent explosion occurred sending material in all directions into space.

6. 1. The Beginning- An Explosion 14 billion years ago a tightly packed, very dense, high temperature singularity exploded. The Big Bang

7. 2. Galaxies Form All the elements that were bundled up in the ball spread, expanded and grew and over time, the galaxies were formed.

8. 3. Our Galaxy In our galaxy only cold, dark gas and dust were spread throughout.

9. 4. Solar Systems Form About 5 billion years ago a giant cloud of dust (nebula) in our galaxy collapsed to form an early version of the solar system

10. Nebulas – a large cloud of gas and dust in interstellar space ( The place where stars are born) – Contains all of the ingredients for building planets, moons, and star are found in nebulas. – Made up of mainly hydrogen and helium.

11. So how does a nebula become a planet? In order to understand this one must understand the two forces that interact in nebulas. – Gravity – Pressure

13. Solar nebula collapsed. The nebula became denser and denser and the attraction between the particles increased. Due to the increase collisions the center of the cloud became very hot. The cloud flattened out into a rotating disk in which all of the planets still follow this rotation.

15. As the dust began to circle the warm center particles began to collide to form golf ball- sized bodies. The bodies were then pulled into the nebula where the began to collide more allowing them to grow to kilometer-wide bodies. – Planetesimals – large bodies of rock that have collided to form “small planets”

16. The majority of these Planetesimals are the cores of many planets. Others collide with planets creating large craters.

17. Largest planetesimals formed near the outside of the rotating solar disk, where hydrogen and helium were located. – Formed far enough away that their gravity was able to attract the nebula gas. Smaller planets formed closer to the rotating solar disk. – Temperatures were to hot for the gases to remain so they became mostly rock like planets.

18. At the same time the planets were forming material kept pulling in toward the center of the nebula. Eventually temperature got so hot that fusion reaction began to occur between hydrogen atoms creating helium. Fusion reactions released large amounts of pressure balancing the inward pull of gravity.

19. As the gases became balanced, stabilization occurred, giving birth to a new star. – The Sun

20. Expansion from Explosion

21. Galaxy Formation Look for which 4 steps are demonstrated in this quick demonstration http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0jRObc7 _xo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0jRObc7 _xo

22. Activity In your notebook draw a picture or diagram to represent the 4 steps we discussed on how the solar system and galaxy formed.

23. But how do we know about the Big Bang?

24. The Expanding Universe 1929 – Edwin Hubble found that the universe is expanding – Proof comes from Red Shifts: meaning wavelengths of light from other Galaxies are becoming longer and redder – This proves these galaxies are moving Away from us

25. Doppler Effect

26. http://www.astro.ubc.ca/~scharein/applets/Sim /doppler/Doppler.html

28. Big Bang Analogy Raisin Bread – Uncooked raisins are closer together – When bread is baking the bread rises & raisins become more spread out This is the same for the expanding universe – Planets are staying stationary but can tell that things are moving away from them – This proves the entire universe is expanding

29. each raisin will see all other raisins moving away from it as the loaf expands

30. Support for the Big Bang Theory Cosmic background radiation – Radio signals coming from every direction in space. – Believed to be created by the big bang explosion.

31. Activity In your notebook, draw a diagram that represents the expanding universe that shows the supporting evidence of the big bang theory.

32. Large bodies in the solar system have orderly motions All planets orbit sun in a Counter Clockwise motion All planets rotate in a Counter Clockwise motion (except Venus, Uranus, and Pluto) The Sun rotates in the same Counter Clockwise motions as the planets Almost all moons orbit their planet in the same direction as the planet’s rotation

33. Activity In your notebook, draw a diagram that shows the hierarchy of the universe.

34. See how they spin...

35. Astronomical Hierarchy The universe is made up of many different structures arranged in a fairly well-defined hierarchy. Definition of Hierarchy: an arrangement or classification of things according to relative importance

36. Astronomical Hierarchy Planets Solar Systems Galaxies Universe

37. Big Bang Balloon Lab You are working in pairs (2) – The partner next to you or I will assign you a partner You need: – 1 balloon – 1 permanent marker – 1 piece of string – No ruler necessary: using the written ruler on your paper instead

38. Big Bang Balloon Lab Expectations: – You are following the procedure exactly as it says This is why we studied the importance of procedures* – Do not get up out of your seat unless authorized – Talk quietly with only your partner – You have the rest of class to finish the lab Including data collection & comprehension questions – If you finish early, clean up & work on HW Reminder: we have an exit ticket so must end 5 minutes before bell – I will give you this warning signal

39. Exit Ticket Word Bank: Planets Universe Galaxies Solar Systems Using the word bank, answer: 1.Which was created first? 2.Which was created last? 3.Which was formed from colliding asteroids? 4.The milky way is one of these.
