 * 1) Create a wiki page called StarModel codeinitials.
 * 2) Copy the information below and paste it on your StarModel page.
 * 3) Enter the first name only of your lab partners.
 * 4) View **Web Search Strategies video**
 * 5) Work as a group to research information about stars. Find at least 4 scientifically valid sources of information about stars. Enter the URL for each of the resources used under each appropriate question.
 * 6) Use EasyBib to create a Works Cited list in MLA format with annotation for each entry.

 * He is a very smart scientist
 * this cite isfun and simple-
 * <span style="font-family: Open Sans,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">This cite gives great information
 * Problem**: I would like you to work in groups of 4 and create a scale model of a star. Using technology to do some research about a star of your choosing and knowing what we know about scaling, you are going to build a model of the star with materials of your choosing. The materials you need to build this star are to be brought into class, and you will have 3-4 full class periods to assemble your star as a group. This will count as a summative assessment for Science for this unit. After the assembly of the stars you will need to show answer a few review questions on your own to receive full credit.

Lab Partners:

_Alina _Voronica

 * Star you want to model**: Rigel, You will need to show the layers, so have a cross-section in your model.

Materials we need: foam ball, paint, bamboo skewers, Masking tape, tooth picks

How are we going to scale this? What is our scale? Example 1 inch = 500 miles

Diamiter 64,010,000 1 inch= 10 million miles

Make sure to include the question also./20 pts
 * Review Questions**: Please answer the following and place them on your wiki.

1. What type of nuclear reaction happens inside a star? What processes of creating a star make this possible? ___/4pts__

Hydrogen fuses inside a star. The heat and pressure make this s possible.

2. Which is hotter a red star or a blue star? Why? _/4 pts Blue stars, because in space, blue is a hot color. Also blue photons are hot than red photon.

3. What are the 6 types of stars? /6 pts

Main sequence stars, red giants, white dwarf, Brown dwarf, variable star, binary stars.

4. How did this project help you understand a star better? /4 pts It didn't help me much.

5. Did everyone work together equally on this project? ___/2 pts Do not use any names in your answer on the wiki Yes, Two people looked stuff up, and two people built the star.

Write a description in your own words describing how one layer of a star works A layer of a star is the core. The core is the center of a star. This is the hottest part of a star. this is where photons where made. It is important to the star because it makes photons, and the star needs photons. It needs the core to not collapse. The core is the center of gravity. A star has many layers.
