This Lab Manual is designed for a 1-credit hour companion course that goes with a course that uses Big Bang, Black Holes, No Math. It gives students more of a hands-on understanding of the concepts surrounding the Big Bang and Black Holes in an effort to de-mystify them. With an emphasis on interpretation of data, with minimal data analysis techniques and only basic high-school algebra, students gain insight into the process of gathering and interpreting evidence for use in the field of Cosmology and to do so in a way that is communicable to a lay audience. This Lab Manual is Designed to Accompany Big Bang, Black Holes, No Math
