 * 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.

 * This information was a good thing to do so I can know what the Rigel star is what does it look like.
 * I also found more information on this one too so I can know what the color it is and where it lives.


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

Materials we need: Paint, a foam ball, bamboo skewers, toothpicks, and masking tape.

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

Diameter-64,810,000 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__

Fusion because Gravity enforces the law.

2. Which is hotter a red star or a blue star? Why? _/4 pts Blue Stars because on this project we decided to do a blue star so we can know what it looks like and see how shiny it is.

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

Main Sequence Star, Red Giant, White Draft, Brown Dwarf, Variable Star, and Binary Stars.

4. How did this project help you understand a star better? /4 pts By knowing what is and how to make it.

5. Did everyone work together equally on this project? ___/2 pts Do not use any names in your answer on the wiki Yes, because we work together on this star and we took turns to work on it.

Write a description in your own words describing how one layer of a star works The core is the center of the star and it's where fusion occurs and it serves as the gravitational "center" of the star. It's very hot and very dense. The core of a star is inside the star. It's in a region where the temperature and pressures were sufficient to ignite **nuclear fusion.** It releases a tremendous amount of heat. Other stars are visible from Earth during the night. Near the end of its life a star can also contain degenerate matter.
