Expanding Universe

  1. What did you do in this lab?

In this lab my group and I used a a balloon to model the expansion of the universe.

2. What did the balloon and the dots represent?

In this experiment the balloons represent the universe and the dots represent the many galaxies

3.  Trend the expansion difference.

As we blew up the balloon in the different stages the galaxies got further apart representing the universe expanding

4. Your opinion on the value of this activity and things your are still curious about?

In this lab I learned how the universe is expanding by showing it in a simple and understandable way. I am still curious about how long the universe will expand for and the theories about how big the universe could be.
