Understanding Scientific Theory in Astronomy and Beyond

This resource explores the concept of theory in both science and social studies, focusing on testable, falsifiable phenomena supported by multiple lines of evidence. It contrasts the definitions of theory in different academic contexts, illustrated through engaging activities. Students warm up with breath exercises, read about the universe's history, and create a poster incorporating their favorite facts from the readings. This project emphasizes collaboration and enhances teaching skills, culminating in a class presentation on their research findings.
