The Universe and Planetary Motion

The Universe and Planetary Motion Assessment
by Meredith BeatonThis assessment is designed to encourage students to think about the topics presented in the lesson "The Universe and Planetary Motion" as well as interpret the video "Journey to the Edge of the Universe."
Journey to the Edge of the Universe (video)
by Meredith BeatonThis video is a brief introduction to the structure of the Universe. Because it begins with our solar system and travels to the edge of the Universe and the narrator clearly explains the distance and amount of time it takes to reach each marker, it helps students to understand the relationship between different objects in the Universe and the enormity of the Universe.
