Ep. 47 - Explaining the Big Bang Theory

In the summer of 2021, I had the fun opportunity to be on the Out of the Trenches podcast with Dana Goodier. We had a great chat about teaching, but then Dana gave me this glorious chance to talk space! She asked me, "what do people get wrong about space?" and off I went. I asked Dana for the audio because I wanted to share my answer with my audience on Science 360. So this is a clip from that talk.It's more than just space though. As much as I want to help teachers teach about space, I also want to inspire creative education where we recognize that our students are heading into an incredible world where there is much work to be done. So as the episode unfolds, I give my take on why we have a responsibility to teach to their future.So I guess this episode is about the past, that is the origin of the universe, but it's also about the future, which is what we can influence every day as a teacher. So, ready to take some notes?
