Students debate and listen to ideas presented in their research, pose questions, and compare and contrast ideas behind their theories. Students weigh evidence to support a theory of the origins of the universe.

Students peruse blogs, editorials, and other forums to gather information from multiple viewpoints. Then students pose original ideas for the origins of the universe through an interview or dialogue with a science professional (professor, NASA physicist, physics teacher, etc.). Students create a verbal or non-verbal representation of their personal theory of the origin of the universe.

Students listen to a lecture about particle physics, matter, and anti-matter, and summarize the lecture in a one-page response.

Students read and research varying theories of the world's creation. As part of their research, students watch a scientific documentary on the origins of the universe. Students listen to excerpts from a number of sources on the world's creation and discuss what is fact or fiction in the passages.
