Part 1: The Elements: Forged in Stars
Visit https://www.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/ess05.sci.ess.eiu.fusion/the-elements-forged-in-stars/#.WT2ljRPyvsE and use the background essay and 3-minute video to find the answers to the following questions:
· How does a star glow?
· What types of elements are found in stars?
· What is a supernova?
· Why does it take so much heat and pressure to create helium and other elements?
Part 2: Show What You Know
· Perform a Web search using terms, such as “stellar nucleosynthesis,” “helium burning,” “carbon burning” and “neon burning,” to locate balanced equations that show the fusion of lighter elements into heavier elements.
· Write balanced nuclear equations for the formation of five elements whose atomic number is between helium (2) and iron (26).
