March 4 Agenda
Learning Target: Be able to explain what causes various types
of stellar explosions
Question of the day: Once you have your test back, use your
book, notes and each other to correctly describe star
formation, using terms such as nuclear fusion, protostar, Ttauri star, interstellar cloud, fragmenting, shock waves,
temperatures at various important events, what is the cause
of each stage and other important pieces. Do this on a full
piece of paper. If you draw, all events must be labeled. This
will be graded for accuracy.
Vocabulary
 As always, I expect the terms to be described in detail
in your own words. These can be found in the book
and in your notes. These are a great study tool to go
back to:
 Today’s Vocabulary:
 Nova
 Carbon-detonation supernovae
 Neutron star
Agenda
 Finish any Chap 20 notes
 Card Partner Investigation
 Meet with your card partner, read the section in the book on your
investigation
 Develop an easy way to teach the rest of the class about your
topic—You can use the elmo, white board, butcher paper but
make it big enough everyone can read it. You will be graded on
how well you get the information across to the class. Feel free to
be interactive. It is not necessary to do outside research or create
a PowerPoint, but you will need to understand your topic well and
be prepared for questions. Presentations should be short but
informative, we will hopefully present today or beginning of next
class.
