Learning Targets: 1 – Below Standard 2 – Approaching Standard 3 – At Standard 4 – Above Standard A. I can distinguish between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission in terms of where the reactions take place, how they are used, and what they produce. Define Nuclear Fusion and Nuclear Fission What is produced during nuclear fusion? Fission? Provide an example of how nuclear fusion and fission affect your daily life. What are the pros and cons to using nuclear fusion as a source of power for our homes? Activities/Evidence: B. I can diagram the life cycle of small and medium/large stars and apply that knowledge to the future of our sun. What of the stellar life cycle is our sun in currently? What properties of stars determine which path a start takes throughout its lifecycle? Diagram the lifecycle of a star for a small, medium and large mass star It is estimated that our sun will burn out in approximately 4.5 billion years. What evidence was used to make this prediction? Activities/Evidence: C. I can describe the “Big Bang” theory and provide at least two supporting scientific evidences for this theory. How old does the big bang theory predict the age of the universe to be? Briefly describe what the big bang theory says about the history of the universe. Name and describe two pieces of evidence for the big bang. How does the Hubble space telescope use images of stars and galaxies to help support the theory of evolution? Activities/Evidence: Fission and Fusion Notes
