Life Cycle of Stars

Your goal is to find out about the life cycle of our star, the Sun. Along the way, you will encounter HR diagrams, comparisons to our own life cycle, and stars that make our own Sun seem like a weenie. When you get done, I will expect a product (a flip book or another idea of your own choosing) that shows me what you have learned.

Chandra Life Cycle


Questions that must be answered:

a) what is the life cycle of our star, and what does each step MEAN?
b) what is a supernova?
c) will our sun become a black hole? What is a black hole?
d) how does mass affect the life cycle of a star?
e) where does the matter in a stellar nursery come from?
