Strand: 2. Earth and Space
Strand unit: 2. Scientific Model: Orgin of the Universe
Suggestions for use: Teacher can use the video as a teacher reference for getting analogies to help explain the expansion of the universe. Can you class create their own analogies? Have they another view of what is happening to the universe?
