KATALYST 4 STEM
Learning through Discovery
Module 1: Origin and Evolution of the Universe
Substance of the Universe and the laws that govern it

Introduction:
This module is designed to begin 'Science Education' from the moment we believe that Science started shaping the universe i.e the moment of the big bang and follow the story of the Universe's evolution from the 1st atoms to the formation of stars and galaxies, the birth of our solar system and the formation and evolution of our planet through its 4.5 billion year history.
Part1: Big bang, birth and evolution of matter from the first atoms to the formation of galaxies, force, energy
(Students will be initiated into an understanding of the nature of the universe in terms of its principal constituents (matter and energy) and its interactions (mainly in the form of the 4 fundamental forces). )
Part 2: Creation of our solar system and earth. The 4.5 billion year history of earth and how all the layers of earth formed and continue to evolve
(Students will gain a deep understanding of the dynamics of our planet as a whole. They will learn how the physics, chemistry and biology come together in fascinating ways to give our planet its 'unique stature' in the universe)
Key Takeaways:
Module 1, will be the 1st introduction to the interdisciplinary nature of Science.
Students will develop a deep understanding of the environmental sciences through 10 projects focused on real-environmental challenges.
They will also get their 1st exposure on how scientific knowledge gets applied in real world scenarios to give rise to various branches of 'Engineering'.
It will vet their appetite for a career in 'production and manufacturing'
