Discuss two additional lines of observational evidence (the things that we can see or measure in some way) that support the idea that the universe went through an extremely hot and dense period between 13 and 14 billion years ago.

The discovery of the expansion of the universe is one of the defining moments of 20th century astronomy. But while Hubble’s law–the relation between a galaxy’s redshift and its distance–implies a beginning, the Big Bang theory was not well accepted until additional evidence came to light. Discuss two additional lines of observational evidence (the things that we can see or measure in some way) that support the idea that the universe went through an extremely hot and dense period between 13 and 14 billion years ago. More recently, two independent teams of astronomers (including Adam Riess, from the assigned reading this week) discovered that the rate of expansion is increasing. Describe why their discovery depended on observations of a new type of standard candle. (No sources needed, write in your own word)

What can you learn from a search engine’s About, Search Tips, or Help?

READING ASSIGNMENT Chapter 27: Finding Sources WRITING ASSIGNMENTS Learning by Doing Comparing Web Searches assignment from chapter 27 on page 458. If you are using the eBook, click chapter 27 and click the section in the blue title ‘Searching the Internet.’ Scroll down until you see Learning by Doing Comparing Web Searches. NOTE: This activity instructs us to work with classmates. However, complete this assignment on your own. You will still use two separate search engines to complete the assignment. Use one of the search engines below to complete this assignment: Dogpile DuckDuckGo Yandex CC Search Search Encrypt Swisscows Documents from ebook Chapter 27 Learning by Doing Comparing Web Searches Working with some classmates, agree on the topic and terms for a test search. (Or agree to test terms each of you selects.) Have everyone conduct the same search using different search engines, and then compare results. If possible, sit together, using your laptops or campus computers so that you can easily see, compare, and evaluate the search engine results. Ask yourselves these questions: What does the search engine’s home page suggest its typical users want — academic information, business news, sports, shopping, music? What does the search engine gather or index — information from and about a web page (Bing), academic sources (Google Scholar), or a collection of other search engines (Dogpile)? What can you learn from a search engine’s About, Search Tips, or Help? How well does the search engine target your query — the words that define your specific search? Does the search engine take questions (Ask), categorize by source type (text, images, news), or group by topic (About)? Report your conclusions to the class. Focus the Search Terms. If the keywords you enter into a search engine are too general, you may be overwhelmed with information. For example, a search for sources on minimum wage on Bing that produced 26.8 million entries. For more relevant results, consider which aspects of the topic are most necessary to your research and limit your search accordingly. In the example below, focusing the search on a particular aspect (minimum wage + fast food workers) produced fewer sources. image pop up. Press enter to access the pop up A general keyword search yields 26.8 million results. A top-left search box labeled A shows the search term ‘minimum wage.’ The tabs All, Images, Videos, Maps, News, and Shopping, the sign for more, and My Saves are listed below the search tab. A number below the tabs is labeled B indicating the total number of entries located. A list on the right labeled C shows suggested related searches. image pop up. Press enter to access the pop up An advanced search with additional terms yields 198,000 results. A top-left search box labeled A shows the search term ‘minimum wage plus fast food workers.’ The tabs All, Images, Videos, Maps, News, and Shopping, the sign for more, and My Saves are listed below the search tab. A number below the tabs is labeled B indicating the total number of entries located. Below this are the titles along with website links and they are labeled C. Select Limitations. You can generally limit searches to all, exactly, any, or none of the words you enter. Limits include the following: enclosing a phrase, such as in quotation marks, so all words appear together as a unit choosing a specific language (human or computer), such as English or Python choosing a specific format or type of software, such as a PDF file or audio or visual media enhancements specifying a date range choosing a domain such as .edu (educational institution), .gov (government), .org (organization), or .com (commercial site or company), which indicates the type of group sponsoring the site For more on evaluating sources, see Ch. 28. You can locate a variety of material online, ranging from blogs to tweets to video. For the most up-to-date news stories, use a search engine or go to the website for an established news outlet (e.g., the Guardian, CNN, NBC, the New York Times, NPR, Reuters, or the Wall Street Journal). Be careful to distinguish expertise from opinion and speculation. Pay attention to author credentials and watch for bias. Evaluate and use blogs, personal sites, and social media cautiously.

You can make up random things that you think you would complete or accomplish while helping kids.
