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:

_Alex

_Natalie

_Maria

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

Materials we need:
 * Super glue
 * postet board
 * 2 blocks of styrofoam
 * paint( orange, yellow, and red)
 * X-acto knife

How are we going to scale this? What is our scale? Example 1 inch = 500 miles Ratio of the sun 57,983 km. for every inch. 12 inches = 695,800 km.

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 type of nuclear reaction that happens in a star is a nuclear fusion. Heat and pressure create nuclear fusion.

2. Which is hotter a red star or a blue star? Why? _/4 pts A blue star is hotter than a read star. It is hotter because the color blue emits a higher frequency of radiation than red. The wave length in blue is smaller than a red length.

3. What are the 6 types of stars? /6 pts
 * 1) Main Sequence Star
 * 2) Red Giant
 * 3) White Dwarf
 * 4) Neutron Star
 * 5) Brown Dwarf
 * 6) Variable Star

4. How did this project help you understand a star better? /4 pts It helped me understand the star better because we had to use many recourses to look up what to do and how to do it.

5. Did everyone work together equally on this project? ___/2 pts

Write a description in your own words describing how one layer of a star works There are three main layers of the sun The core, radiative zone, and the convection zone. The core provides the majority of the energy for the sun, and it is here hydrogen is fused into helium. The radiative zone is where it radiates energy ( photon) through the photo emission and it can take thousands of years to leave this layer. The convection zone is where heat from the core and cooler temperatures on the surface create currents of gas. These layers make up the sun and make it what it is to do this day ,
