Redshift is a piece of astronomical evidence that supports the Big Bang Theory.
Learning Objective
Students will be able to (SWABT) write a response to compare Redshift/Blueshift with other focal concepts ( frequency, wavelength) using a Frayer Graphic Organizer based on the online reading material.
Students will be able to (SWABT) create an explanation in a written response of the Big Band Theory by analyzing the explanation and evidence from an explanatory scientific article
NGSS Standard
HS-ESS1-2: Construct an explanation of the Big Bang Theory based on astronomical evidence, motion of distant galaxies, and composition of matter in the universe.
HS-PS4-5: Communicate technical information about how some technological devices use the principles of wave behavior and wave interactions with matter to transmit and capture information and energy.
In this lesson, I modeled read-aloud for the whole group for the first paragraph as the comments shown above. Then, I instructed the students to continue read-aloud in pairs and annotate the passage for the rest of the article .
Deepen the understanding by comparing concepts using a frayer-model graphical organizer
assessment
Frayer Model Graphic Organizer – The teacher will grade the organizer by completion, mark out the misinformation and identify the potential learning opportunities from the student work.
An Exit Slip: Students will write an exit slip to explain the relationship between redshift and the Big Band Theory, and at least one question.
