Studying the Universe requires the use of a huge range of scales. This often means using new units – especially for distances and masses. This lesson plan will explore these new unit systems and how we learn about the Universe on the largest scales.

Beginning from an exploration of astronomical objects, this scenario explores the Universe across the electromagnetic spectrum. It finishes with students designing their own space telescopes.
