 * 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:
 * 1) Maria
 * 2) Chandler
 * 3) Jennifer

Our star that we chose is the __ Alpha Centauri __
 * Star you want to model ** : You will need to show the layers, so have a cross-section in your model.

Materials we need:

Maria - exacto knife, cutter board, and craft supplies Me - paints and paint brushes Chandler - Styrofoam sphere Jennifer - Glue, scissor, and foam brushes

How are we going to scale this? What is our scale? Example 1 inch = 500 miles 1 inch for every 100,000 kilometers

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 __

It causes Helium and hydrogen to form inside of the star.

2. Which is hotter a red star or a blue star? Why? _/4 pts The Blue star is more hotter because when we burn a piece of metal it turns colors and when it gets the hottest the color is Blue. But the Red star is the more cooler like the metal burning the first color is red so its starting to burn.

3. What are the 6 types of stars? /6 pts The Six Types of Stars are main sequence star, red giant, white dwarf, brown dwarf, variable star, and binary star

4. How did this project help you understand a star better? /4 pts It helped me because the Star I had no idea was a thing and know I no how big it is and what colors Alphas Centauri is.

5. Did everyone work together equally on this project? ___/2 pts Do not use any names in your answer on the wiki Yes at first nobody was really working together and then when we started painted the replica we all worked together very well and know we are working pretty good.

Write a description in your own words describing how one layer of a star works The Star Alphas Centauri is one of three stars that are close to the Sun. One of the Layers of the Star Alphas Centauri is the Corona. This Layer has many fuctions. This layer is the first out of three layers.This layer is the extreme heating of the star so this layer produces all the heat in Alphas Centauri. When this heat happens it also may cause Solor Flares.
