After having explored several theories of the origin of the universe, work groups will be formed in which they will choose one of the theories seen or known and through an infographic or poster they will represent it, analyzing aspects such as background, theories, exponents and examples.
At the end, the teacher will take a few minutes to give feedback to each group.
3
This activity will be verified through the facility in which they express their theory and the participation of each team member.
