The first element is . . .
of The Periodic Table of Elements. H stands for Hydrogen.
Can you find it in the table on slide 2?
Most of the ordinary matter in our
universe consists of hydrogen.
of the matter in the universe are all the other elements.
3/4 of the matter
in the universe
is hydrogen!
One hour is 60 minutes, so there are 3 doublings in an hour.
Now suppose the cells continue to multiply for seven hours?
How many doublings would that be?
That would be 7 hours x 3 doublings/hour = 21 doublings.
the number you get is above 2 million cells!

To fit

data, it
predicts that
the universe
began as
a single point
13.8 billion
years ago.
From that
beginning
it has expanded
and stretched
to its current
size.

that the formula
for water is
H2O.
H stands for hydrogen.
O stands for oxygen.
This formula tells you that every water molecule in our oceans, rivers, lakes and clouds is made up of
two hydrogen atoms and
one oxygen atom.

Water is a very stable compound.
This is why water is so stable for cooking.

It makes an excellent fuel, so good in fact, that it was used in the space shuttle as ROCKET FUEL!
Why were scientists so excited about this possibility? ROCKET FUEL!
They hope to use frozen Moon water

as well as to launch further explorations
of the solar system.
