Nuclear Fusion

Goal:
Gather evidence for how stars produce new chemical elements.

Agenda:
Warmup
Video
Storyboard

Warmup
In your journal entry from yesterday, write an argument in the form of a CER paragraph answering the question: Is alpha decay a form of nuclear fission?

Video
We need to answer the question: Where do all of the elements on Earth come from? Use this video to gather evidence to answer that question. 


Storyboard
Work with a partner and create a storyboard for how stars form elements. Make sure your storyboard addresses the following questions:
Of all the changes, why nuclear fusion? Of all the places, why stars?
