Sun, Solar Flares, Sun Spots, Star Life Cycle (170 Slides) HW, More

This is a 170 slide PowerPoint presentation with built-in class notes (red slides), step by step drawing of a stars life cycle, neat class singing activity, great video links, two page homework, lesson notes, answer keys,and much more.

Note-This lesson is part of my Solar System Basics lesson so please do not purchase this one if you have already purchased my solar system lesson.

This PowerPoint begins by asking the students what shape the Sun is? They reply round, the PowerPoint then shows a morphing sphere that changes shape. The students are then asked if you could pick-up the Sun if you were a heat resistant giant. They then learn how the Sun is Plasma and would be difficult to pick up. Some notes about how the Sun represents 99.8% of the Solar System by mass is described. Some really neat Solar Flares are shown and Sun Spots with relative size of the Earth. The Planets are then compared to the size of the Sun. After some discussion about energy flow on Earth, the composition is described in a step by step process. Plasma is discussed in greater detail. The nuclear process is shown briefly. The Life Cycles of Stars are then shown in a step by step process. A detailed step by step drawing including Super-Nova and blackholes are shown for Super Massive Stars, as well as Red Gain to Stellar Ejections to White Dwarfs for Medium Sized Stars. Stars are then compared to each other to see the enormous size of Stars. This is a really neat PowerPoint that is full or great images. The entire PowerPoint is one step at a time.
