 * 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.**

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


 * Materials we need:**
 * Meh - Styrofoam sphere
 * Paola - Paint: blue, light blue, sky blue, dark blue, more shades of blue
 * Jenna - Paint Brushes, Scissors
 * Mia - Paint Containers
 * Star - Bellatrix


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


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


 * 1. What type of nuclear reaction happens inside a star? What processes of creating a star make this possible? _/4pts**

The tyope of nuclear reaction that happens inside a star is called nuclear fusion. The procceses of making a star is gravity because it causes pressure which is colliding and it makes heat.

A blue star is hotter because if you look at the heat scale, heat goes from red to blue, which is cooler to hotter.
 * 2. Which is hotter a red star or a blue star? Why? _/4 pts**


 * 3. What are the 6 types of stars? /6 pts**
 * Main Sequence stars
 * Red Giant Stars
 * White Dwarfs
 * Neutron Stars
 * Black Holes
 * Brown Dwarfs

This project helps me understand a star better because I now know how scientists get a scale model of stars and also how they can look into the core of a star.
 * 4. How did this project help you understand a star better? /4 pts**

Do not use any names in your answer on the wiki Yes, everyone did work equally together on this project.
 * 5. Did everyone work together equally on this project? ___/2 pts**

The center of the sun is called the core. Here, the fusions can happen because the pressure is so high. The density of the core is 150 times the density of water. In the core, fusion happ
