III. Developmental Activity
a. Pre-Activity
i. Prayer
ii. Checking Attendance
iii. Motivation
The teacher will present the cosmological question, “Where did we come from?” After that,
the teacher will divide the class into two groups to have a simple debate. One group representing the
“Theory of Creation” and the other group representing the Theory of Evolution. Each group chooses
a speaker, and present their narrative in class. Each group is given 5 minutes to present their ideas and
rebut.
iv. Presentation
The teacher will introduce the theory of the BIG BANG theory. In 1929, astronomer Edwin
Hubble made the amazing discovery that distant galaxies are speeding away from us. This means that
the galaxies we see today are much closer together – originating from a tiny region of space.
The origin of the universe remains one of the greatest questions in science. Current scientific
evidence supports the Big Bang model, which states that about 13.8 billion years ago, the entire
universe began expanding from a very hot and very dense state. This sudden expansion is known as
the Big Bang.
What does it mean when we say that the universe is expanding? The Big Bang was an
expansion of space itself. Every part of space participated in it. Space is not simply emptiness; it’s a real
stretchable, flexible thing. Galaxies are moving away from us because space is expanding. Galaxies are
moving with space, not through space.
What is the evidence that the universe is expanding? Doppler Effect/ Red shift used as an
evidence for an expanding universe as Edwin Hubble interpret the red shift and its interpretation that
galaxies are moving away from each other, hence as evidence for an expanding universe. 'Red shift' is a
key concept for astronomers. The term can be understood literally - the wavelength of the light is
stretched, so the light is seen as 'shifted' towards the red part of the spectrum. Something similar
happens to sound waves when a source of sound moves relative to an observer.
b. Activity Proper
To be familiarize with structures and components of universe, the teacher will group students
with five members and play guessing game.
Direction: Arrange the jumbled letters to form words related to the universe. Say something about
the formed words/terms.
 Bonyriac mtetar
 Sarts
 Ptorsator
 Nulebae
 Dkar mttear
 Kdar gnyeer
 Hgendroy, hliuem, thmuili
 Thenucreaoml racteion
 Mnai sqeucen sarts
c. Analysis
How did you answer your activity?
d. Abstraction
a. Baryonic matter - "ordinary" matter consisting of protons, electrons, and neutrons that comprises atoms,
planets, stars, galaxies, and other bodies
b. Dark matter - matter that has gravity but does not emit light.
c. Dark Energy - a source of anti-gravity; a force that counteracts gravity and causes the universe to
expand.
d. Protostar- an early stage in the formation of a star resulting from the gravitational collapse of gases.
e. Thermonuclear reaction - a nuclear fusion reaction responsible for the energy produced by stars.
f. Main Sequence Stars - stars that fuse hydrogen atoms to form helium atoms in their cores; outward
pressure resulting from nuclear fusion is balanced by gravitational forces
g. light years - the distance light can travel in a year; a unit of length used to measure astronomical distance
h. star - A huge ball of gas held together by gravity.
e. Application
Are other structures and components in the universe can be seen on Earth? If so, give an
example.
IV. Evaluation
Identification:
1. A source of anti-gravity; a force that counteracts gravity and causes the universe to
expand.
2. An early stage in the formation of a star resulting from the gravitational collapse of gases.
3. A nuclear fusion reaction responsible for the energy produced by stars.
4. A huge ball of gas held together by gravity.
V. Assignment
Research for other non-scientific origin of the universe
