Ms Garlick is going to draw a yesterday's timeline on the board. Discuss the following two questions.
Is it better to have an equal step when creating a timeline or should you space them out based on the amount of time?
Why do you think so much of what we understand is clustered to more recent time, aka why are there such large gaps?
Thinking about the universe size comparison video, what resources do you think we needed to have in order to learn about the universe?
Watch the first episode of Cosmos to understand the scale of the universe and time and complete questions on the worksheet to find the mystery quote.
Homework

To cut down on printing, at the end of each lesson, Ms Garlick is going to ask a question. Take a picture of this question, research it at home, and write your answer on a piece of paper to glue into the back of your book for the next session.

Teacher Notes
