Miss Reeves' sixth grade science students explored a portion of the evidence in support of the Big Bang Theory by using a balloon and measuring distances from set points as they inflated it. This lab is part of their study on scientific theories about the origin of the universe and reinforcing the need for evidential support when claims are made.
