Analysis: and Conclusion How does the density and distribution of your “stars” change as the balloon expands? Density and distribution of "stars" as the balloon expands because when volume increases the density will increase. Compare and contrast your experimental procedures with the Big Bang theory. How does your balloon represent the Big Bang theory? What are the shortcomings of the experimental design?
The Universe is constantly expanding and as it expands the stars and objects in space move farther apart, just like the points on the balloon when air is blown into it. The balloon represents the big bang theory by showing constant expansion of the objects in space. It represents how change plays a big part in the theory because it's a never ending expansion therefore never being the same.
The shortcomings of the experimental design is what the universe has no known limit to which it can grow, as for a balloon when enough air is put in, it will pop. How does the model you created help to show that the Steady State theory is inaccurate? The steady state theory is inaccurate because the model does not create new matter; it just expands further the matter that is already present. Suggest a way that a scientist could create an even more accurate model of the Big Bang theory. Baking a chocolate chip cookie. The chocolate chips would represent the objects in space and when the cookie starts baking it will expand causing the chips to move away from each other. What will happen to the gravitational force between stars as the universe continues to expand?
While galaxies are constantly expanding the gravitational force between stars does not change.
