1 - $100 The name of the theory that states the universe began as a very hot, small, and dense “singularity” 13.5 billion years ago. The Big Bang Theory

1 - $200 Scientist who fathered the heliocentric theory Nicolaus Copernicus

1 - $300 The theory that states the earth is in the middle of the universe with other planets and the sun revolving around it. Geocentric Theory

1 - $400 Advances in this area confirmed that not all objects in space orbit Earth. Technology (Galileo’s redesigned telescope saw 4 of Jupiter’s moons orbiting Jupiter, not Earth)

1 - $500 Both the “Big Bang Theory” and the “Steady State Theory” agree that the universe is expanding. What evidence do scientists state support this notion? Galaxies appear to be moving away from each other.

2 - $100 What is the name of the galaxy in which Earth is located? Milky Way Galaxy

2 - $200 What type of galaxy is the one where we live? Spiral galaxy

2 - $300 Order the following from largest to smallest: local group, universe, solar system, galaxy, super cluster Universe, super cluster, local group, galaxy, solar system

2 - $400 Where in the galaxy is Earth located? On an outer arm of the spiral; Orion Arm

2 - $500 Both the Milky Way and Andromeda are near each other. You could say they are in the same _____________. Local/Galaxy Group

3 - $100 Humans keep their “feet on the ground” as opposed to flying into the atmosphere because of this force. gravity

3 - $200 Planets are held in orbit by Gravity and Inertia

3 - $300 In space, away from gravitational and frictional influences, you throw a rock. What will happen to the rock? The rock will continue in motion in the same direction at the same speed

3 - $400 Objects with a greater mass have ___________ inertia. greater

3 - $500 Suppose Earth’s gravity weakened. What would happen to the moon? The moon would orbit further away from Earth. If the gravitational pull was too weak, the moon would leave Earth’s orbit.
