Ask the class before hitting play to activate prior knowledge.
Main Takeaway
"Scientists use creative tools and careful evidence—from space telescopes to fossils to medical devices—to learn about the world and solve problems step by step."

"The space observatory collected special signals so scientists could make a picture of a galaxy we can’t visit."
galaxy cluster
