This activity pack is designed to go along with our Big Bang presentation. This activity kit allows you to turn that interesting presentation into a single block activity where students complete a multiple choice comprehension worksheet, as well as an exciting visual art project inspired by the beauty of the cosmos.
If you and your students have a question you would like to ask, email it to [email protected].
