Concept Compare: Why Does the Sun Shine? Thermonuclear Fusion! (p-p and CNO)

Created by

Astronomy, Chemistry, Physics

This Concept Comparison of Thermonuclear Fusion contrasts proton-proton (p-p) chain reactions, and the "cold" carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycles. Help Ss communicate scientific ideas about the way stars produce elements over their life cycle. 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. As cosmologist Carl Sagan famously said, “We are made of star stuff.” And we literally are! We a

This Question Exploration helps Ss answer the question: How does a spring scale work? Ss will identify conditions of simple harmonic motion and relate to Hooke's Law to find the spring force and spring constant. Ss will also examine the relationship between the amount a linear spring is stretched and the restoring force that acts to return the spring to its rest length. This concept is central to an understanding of elastic potential energy in mechanical systems and has implications in the study
