Training for the Quarter 3 Assessment

Your training regimen does not include one-handed push-ups (or getting slapped as you do sit-ups). It does include completing the astronomy cardboxes in Ediscio (Planetary Motion, Earth, Moon, and Sun Effects, Small Bodies of the Solar System and Our Sun, and Stars and Galaxies). Keep track of your success and let me know how you did through Ediscio-mail. Tomorrow, there will be a short standard check on Galaxies. It will include this essay question, which you may answer today or tomorrow during class:
Different theories exist about the origin of the universe, one of which is the big bang theory. In this essay, explain what the big bang theory is. Be sure to describe some of the events/discoveries that have led some scientists to this theory. (How does cosmic background radiation, the Doppler Effect, advanced telescopes, etc. contribute to the support and formation of the big bang theory?) (3 points).
The standard check will be followed by the Quarter 3 Assessment. Happy training!
