3. Private Study!
Find out one piece of Scientific evidence for the Big Bang and write it into your own words (to show you understand it).
This could be as a detailed paragraph, a poster or any other way you can think of to present it!

4. To investigate different views on how the world began.
Map from Memory!
You will be working in teams with the people on your table to complete a map from memory.
Number yourselves 1-5 (or how many are on your table).
Each team will have a piece of plain paper. This is where you will try to recreate (copy) my poster.
One person from each group will come to the front to see my poster. You will have 30 seconds to memorise as much as you can.
You will then go back to your team and try to put the information down on your paper. You need to tell the other members of your team which piece of information you gathered or they might try to remember the same thing! This is where you need to be really good team workers!
Each person will come up twice. The group with the most, accurate information may even win a prize!
Number ones; are you ready?!

10. Let’s do some detective work!
In your envelope you have a selection of pieces of evidence for both The Big Bang and The Christian Creation Story.
THINK then DISCUSS - which do you think are evidence for the creation of the world and which might not be?
It doesn’t matter which you think is right, as long as you can give a reason why you think that!
Maybe you don’t agree with any of the information. That’s ok, but be prepared to say what you do believe, with a reason.
