About This Activity
Learn about the Big Bang and the formation of our Milky Way galaxy. Explore how to measure such large distances and try to find the stars closest to us. Create your own nebula using a construction pager, newspaper, and water. Build pinhole galaxies to present barred, elliptical, spiral, and irregular galaxies to the class. Find out how much you would weigh on the sun, moon, and planets. Solve the mystery of black holes and write your own science fiction story about it. Finally, travel to the most distant objects in our universe—quasars. Instructor: AJ Eldred AJ Eldred is a homeschool alum who has been teaching with the homeschool experience for 3 years now.
