Unit 3, Lesson 2: Life Cycle of a Star
Learning Target: I can explain why stars lighting up is a threshold.
Class Activities:
1. Students came in and picked up the homework packet and and Life Cycle of a Star worksheet. They got to work on the do now, which asked them to explain why a star shines. (A recap of what we learned yesterday)
2. I explained that yesterday we learned about how a star is born, and today, we'll be learning about the full life cycle of stars.
3. We went out into the hall, where I had taped up a lot of different photos and descriptions of stars' phases. Students used these to fill out 1-2 sentence definitions of the different phases. If you're looking at this online, I can't upload the images because they're too big, sorry.
4. After about 20 minutes, we went back into the room, and the students had to create a diagram of the life cycle of a star, along with explanations of what happens in each stage. The cycle should look something like what you see below.
