1. What made the Big Bang "bang?" In other words, why didn't the universe just stay in a tiny little sphere the size of a golfball? More details = more points.
2. What do you think would happen if you went into a black hole? Scientists only know what happens until you get to the event horizon. Anything beyond that is really just an educated guess. More details = more points.
3. Tell me what you think about worm holes? When you pass through one, where do you go? WHEN do you go? More details = more points.

Webquest and Hubble's Law Lab

SCOPE

Today you are going to contribute to real scientific research, classifying stars. You are going to look at the spectra generated by stars, and figure out their spectral type (what the star looks like and what it is made out of). Each star will be classified by 10 people (you may be one of them). The results of all 10 people will be averaged, and the star can be classified.

You will need to create an account, and classify 6 stars today. Click here to register. For an explanation of what the lines mean, click here.
