Livin' The Life Of A Star!

To review the stages of the life cycle of a star, we watched a short video and then students are to write a creative story from the perspective of a HIGH MASS star going through it's life cycle.  The pages below can be used as reference in their writing.  It's expected that facts are included within their writing that are accurate.

We read E115-E128 about stars life cycles as well as their temperature and colors.  When completed the reading, we worked on the worksheets below.  Also, vocabulary from 4.1, 4.2 and the word constellation need to be defined.

We started ASTRONOMY today!  We are truly on the home stretch to the end of the school year now!  Students will need foam board by about next Wednesday for a project.  One per pairing of students.  We will also be using our devices on Tuesday and Wednesday next week for research!  Plan accordingly.  Today, we watched two Brainpop movies.  One about the sun and one about the life cycle of stars.  You can logon and watch those.  rachaelkt and the password is donorschoose.
