    A Level Physics BL Lesson Plan - Dark Matter

    - The lesson explains how the orbital speeds of objects in spiral galaxies implies the existence of dark matter, as the observed speeds are different than what is predicted based on the visible matter. - It also describes how the Higgs boson may be related to dark matter, as the Higgs boson is linked to the mass of particles, including dark matter. - Students will analyze a graph showing the observed and predicted speeds of objects orbiting in a spiral galaxy and discuss the differences between the lines and the implications for dark matter.
