Learning Goals: 4. Complex Knowledge: demonstrations of learning that go aboveand above and beyond what was explicitly taught. 3. Knowledge: meeting the learning goals and expectations. 2. Foundational knowledge: simpler procedures, isolated details, vocabulary. 1. Limited knowledge: know very little details but working toward a higher level. How do stars differ from moons and planets, and from one another? How does the classification of stars help us understand how they evolve over their lifetimes? What are the different types of stars? What happens when different types of stars die? Why is it important for us to understand stars?
2
Bell Work What type of star did you research yesterday? What type of star did the person next to you research? What is one way those two types of stars are different? One way they are similar?
3
Star sizes and colors Are stars all the same size and color?

Usually Spectral class Radius (sun=1) Mass O 12-25 20-120 B 4-12 4-20
1.5-4 2-4 F 1.05-2 G K M
11
Underneath your chart:
Explain at least two trends that you notice so far as you move from O-class stars to M-class stars

Size comparison Measure string the length of the diameter. Fold the string in half . Hold the middle and use your pencil to draw a scale diagram of these stars! Label the stars, then guess their color Star Diameter (sun =1) Color Sun 1” Yellow Betelgeuse 830”* Orange/ Red Bellatrix 6” White Sirius 2” Blue/ White Polaris (North Star) 37” yellow Proxima Centauri (closest) 0.03” Red Pollux 8” orange Please get the string neatly back on the cardboard!! Thanks
