Earth and Beyond

This resource encourages students to look beyond our world and out into the universe. They will investigate its features, the role of gravity, and the vast distances between structures making up the Universe. They will consider what the significance is of star colour and temperature and what is the predicted life cycle of a star. They will research what the scientific understanding is of the origin of the Universe and what evidence supports the Big Bang theory. They could also consider how technology has advanced scientific understanding of the Universe and what will be the impact of emerging projects.
