Learn about It!
 It is a cosmological model that describes how the
universe started its expansion about 13.8 billion years
ago, states that the universe continues to move and
expand.
 It was first proposed, though not named, by Belgian
astrophysicist and priest Abbe Georges Edouard
Lemaitre.
 The name “big bang” was coined by British astronomer
Fred Hoyle in 1949.
Big Bang Theory

Learn about It!
1.The universe began as a singularity or a
point containing all space, time, matter and
energy.
2.It expanded rapidly in nothingness through
a rapid yet peaceful process called inflation.
3.The universe cooled down as it expanded.

4.A soup of matter in the form of subatomic
particles was formed and nuclei of light atoms
were created via nucleosynthesis or nuclear
fusion between protons and neutrons.
5.Electrons interacted with these nuclei to form
actual, primordial atoms via the process of
recombination.

Nucleosynthesis?

Learn about It!
• Big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN), also known
as primordial nucleosynthesis, is the process
of producing or forming light elements during
the big bang expansion.
• This theory was proposed in 1948 by American
physicists George Gamow, Hans Bethe, and
Ralph Asher Alpher.

• The correlation between predicted and
observed cosmic abundances of H and He was
the major proof of the big bang theory.
• It predicts that about 25 % of the mass of the
universe consists of helium (helium -3 and

quantity of lithium, tritium and beryllium and
approximately 75 % of hydrogen.

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Send menti in gc para dun nila ilagay sagot nila Then after that mag ask sa students WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE WE ARE REFERRING TO COSMOLOGY
  • #4 EVOLUTION- how the universe has changed and developed over time, starting from its origin to its current state major events, transformations, and interactions that have shaped the universe RELIGIOUS PHYSICAL
  • #5 Beliefs according to religion- tulad ng Christians ( God created universe) and hindus ( Universe comes from a cosmic egg) Creatio ex nihilo- doctrine that matter is not eternal but had to be created by some divine creative act. Book of Genesis- Book of Hebrew and Christian old testament which describes how God created the universe in a span of 6 days -1st light -, 2nd sky, 3rd land, plant, trees, 4th Sun, moon, stars, 5th creatures that live in the sea, 6th animals and humans in land
  • #6 HELIOCENTRIC MODEL/THEORY- Sun is at the center of the universe (or solar system) with the Earth and other planets orbiting around it. GEOCENTRIC MODEL- Earth is at the center THEORY OF RELATIVITY- understanding of space, time, and gravity and played a critical role in explaining the concept of an expanding universe. (PAG WALANG GRAVITY MAY TENDENCY NA MAS NAGMOMOVE NG MABILIS ANG MGA OBJECTS) framework to describe how the universe evolves over time. The most widely accepted explanation to the origin of the universe is the big bang theory. DISCUSS THE BIG BANG THEORY ON NEXT SLIDE
  • #11 These astronomers studied the light coming from spiral galaxies. Redshift: When light from a galaxy moves away from us, it gets stretched, making it appear redder (like the sound of a siren getting lower in pitch as it moves away). This is called the redshift of light. Discovery: Slipher and Wirtz noticed that most spiral galaxies showed redshift, meaning they were moving away from Earth. This was one of the first clues that the universe might be expanding.
  • #12 Hubble used telescopes to calculate the distances between Earth and distant galaxies. He compared these distances to their redshift. Hubble's Observation:The farther a galaxy is, the faster it’s moving away from us.
  • #13 CMBR- It’s like an "echo" of the Big Bang, giving us direct evidence that the universe had a hot, dense beginning. the big bang and the different evolutionary stages of stars, nucleosynthesis occurred. DISCUSS THE NUCLEOSYNTHESIS ON NEXT SLIDE
  • #16 ADDITIONAL: It is believed to have occurred in the first few minutes of the big bang
  • #18 According to this theory, the temperature of the early universe was very high that all matter were fully ionized. A few minutes after the big bang the universe cooled and nucleosynthesis began to take place, characterized by the following series of reactions. DISCUSS NO.1
  • #19 Mass number – taas Atomic number- baba
  • #23 The most abundant element is Hydrogen. ADDITIONAL The big bang nucleosynthesis did not produce elements heavier than beryllium. NEXT LESSON IS ABOUT STELLAR AND SUPERNOVA NUCLEOSYNTHESIS.
  • #25 I-connect yung activity here yesterday Then discuss that matter is made up of tiny and indivisible particles called atom. So, in continuation, we will talk about the atom and its particles and its connection to the elements
  • #28 Discuss the charged particles of this three: Protons, neutrons, and electrons are commonly called sub-atomic particles. They are essential components for constructing an atom. Each atom has different numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons. And that is how the atoms preserve their identity and uniqueness. They have different charges and differ in their masses. Also, the roles of each of the sub-atomic particles are quite different from each other. The main difference between Proton, Neutron and Electrons can be found in their charges. Protons are positively charged and neutrons are neutral whereas electrons are negatively charged. Next discuss the atomic mass and atomic number and kung paano makuha yung mga yun
