Description

What are the stages of a star's life? In this virtual lab, students will use mathematical data to analyze the life cycles of different stars based on their initial mass. Students will also:

⚗️Test their Pre-Existing Knowledge of Stars
⚗️Analyze the Fusion of Hydrogen Atoms into Helium
⚗️Explain the Correlation between a Star's Mass and its' Age
⚗️Investigate the Formation of Neutron Stars & Black Holes

NOTE: This activity links to the Star in the Box Simulation from Las Cumbres University. Check it out below!

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSSHS-ESS1-3
Communicate scientific ideas about the way stars, over their life cycle, produce elements. Emphasis is on the way nucleosynthesis, and therefore the different elements created, varies as a function of the mass of a star and the stage of its lifetime. Details of the many different nucleosynthesis pathways for stars of differing masses are not assessed.
NGSSHS-ESS1-1
Develop a model based on evidence to illustrate the life span of the sun and the role of nuclear fusion in the sun’s core to release energy that eventually reaches Earth in the form of radiation. Emphasis is on the energy transfer mechanisms that allow energy from nuclear fusion in the sun’s core to reach Earth. Examples of evidence for the model include observations of the masses and lifetimes of other stars, as well as the ways that the sun’s radiation varies due to sudden solar flares (“space weather”), the 11-year sunspot cycle, and non-cyclic variations over centuries. Assessment does not include details of the atomic and sub-atomic processes involved with the sun’s nuclear fusion.
