Life of a Star Project 8th Grade Science Mrs. Hickle, Mrs. Kirts, Mr. Powell Due starting April 27-28 (full credit) April 29 (-20 pts) April 30 (-30 pts & final day) We are all made of star material. The atoms of some of the elements that make up our bodies were created in the stars. And just like living things, stars are born, live their lives, and then die. Some die quietly, while others die violently, like in a supernova. You are to build a 3-D model (not a poster or diorama) of the Life Cycle of Stars. Your project includes the 3-D model, a report including citing your sources, and an oral presentation. You are to include the following in your model of the Life Cycle of a Star: a) Life cycle- stages, colors, temperatures (3-D model) b) Technology used to research Stars c) Choose a specific Star to research and include to following in your essay: What type of Star is it? What will it be when it dies? Is it part of a constellation? Which? H-R diagram placement What color is it? Temperature? Magnitude? What is the distance from Earth in light years? REMEMBER: Label each part of the Life cycle Include all criteria Be creative-make your Star phases as life like as you can. Have fun and make it colorful. Written report will be 500-700 words MLA formatted. Cite your sources with a Bibliography. Project will be orally presented to class. Discuss the different stage a star goes through in its life cycle.
