The document discusses the origin of the universe according to the Big Bang theory. It states that astronomers estimate the universe began approximately 15 billion years ago with a massive explosion, and that before the Big Bang there was nothing - no space, time, matter or energy. This explosion threw out huge amounts of atomic energy particles in all directions, which began to form clouds of gas and dust that eventually coalesced to create galaxies, planets, stars, and other celestial bodies through the passage of time.
S6E1. Students will explore current scientific views of the universe and how those views evolved.
a. Relate the Nature of Science to the progression of basic historical scientific models (geocentric, heliocentric) as they describe our solar system, and the Big Bang as it describes the formation of the universe.
b. Describe the position of the solar system in the Milky Way galaxy and the universe.
c. Compare and contrast the planets in terms of Size relative to the earth Surface and atmospheric features Relative distance from the sun Ability to support life
d. Explain the motion of objects in the day/night sky in terms of relative position.
e. Explain that gravity is the force that governs the motion in the solar system.
f. Describe the characteristics of comets, asteroids, and meteors.
The solar system is made up of the Sun, the planets that orbit the Sun, their satellites, dwarf planets and many, many small objects, like asteroids and comets. All of these objects move and we can see these movements. We notice the Sun rises in the eastern sky in the morning and sets in the western sky in the evening. We observe different stars in the sky at different times of the year.

While Earth is only the fifth largest planet in the solar system, it is the only world in our solar system with liquid water on the surface. Just slightly larger than nearby Venus, Earth is the biggest of the four planets closest to the Sun, all of which are made of rock and metal
This is a PowerPoint that is about Exploring Earth Science. This is geared towards 3rd grade students. This is very picture heavy so it will easily keep the attention of young children. It is also full of helpful information
This power point is about space and solar system. In this slide you will know about stars and planets and many more things in space. like famous asteroids ,meteors and blackholes.

Earth-Like Planet with Intelligent Life? Why 400 Years?Paul H. Carr
Earth-Like Planet with Intelligent Life? Why 400 Years?
Paul H. Carr, Ph. D.
In 1584, Dominican monk Giordano Bruno envisioned the stars as "countless suns with countless earths, all rotating around their suns.” Searching for intellectual freedom, he fled his native Italy to Protestant Switzerland and Germany, but in 1600 the Roman Inquisition condemned him for heresy. He was burned at the stake.
Fast-forwarding to 1995, the Swiss astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz announced the discovery of a planet orbiting a star similar to our sun (51 Pegasi). In 2010, 500 planets had been found orbiting 421 stars. On Feb 2, 2011, NASA announced that the Kepler space telescope had identified 1200 planet candidates.
It took 400 years for telescope technology to advance and for Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Bradley, and Foucault to establish heliocentric cosmology, culminating in today’s astrophysics with digital imaging and processing. Here is your opportunity to learn about the progress we are making towards discovering an earth-like planet with the possibility of intelligent life. Contrasting with Bruno, in 2010 Dominican Francisco Ayala, who had been president of the Sigma Xi and AAAS, won the $1.6M Templeton Prize for affirming life’s spiritual dimension.
1. THE UNIVERSE
ORIGEN
Astronomers have worked that the universestarted around
15,00millions years ago, with a terrible explosion which they call
the Big-Bang
Scientist believe that there was nothing before the explosion: no
space, time, matter, energy or nothing
The Big-Bang theory threw out a huge amount of atomic energy
particles in all directions, and these bean to form into clouds of
gas and dust, the clouds, gas and dust eventually formed galaxies,
planets, suns, starts, Seattle, asteroids, comets.

universe around the Earth in
EARTH circle
The round The Earth must be round Aristotle The Earth´s shadow on
the moon was curved
