c. Materials: Laptop, PPT Presentation
d. Attitudes: Recognize the value of knowing how elements are formed.
e. Values: Gain cooperative values by studying the origin of elements

III. Learning Resources


a. Most Essential Learning Competency
b. Physical Science book
c. Physical Science Module

IV. Procedure
a. Preliminary Activities
i. Checking of Attendance
ii.Drill
A. Identify the elements!
1. H 2. Au 3. Pn 4. Sn 5. Fe

B. What is the atomic number and mass number of;


1. Li 2. K 3. Na 4. Mg 5. O

iii. Review
TRUE OR FALSE
Directions: Choose TRUE if the statement is correct, and FALSE if otherwise.

1. Elements are made up of sub-atomic particles called protons, neutrons and electrons. TRUE
2. The identity of an element depends on how many neutrons it has. FALSE
3. Lithium is one of the elements formed during the big bang nucleosynthesis. TRUE
4. Nucleosynthesis combines nucleus (protons and neutrons) to form elements. TRUE
5. Big Bang is an explosion. FALSE

iv. Motivation
Big Bang Theory
Expansion or Explosion?

Describe the analogy between cosmological expansion and an expanding balloon.

Instructions:
1. The class will be grouped into four. Each group will be given 2 minutes
to finish the said activity.
2. Inflate your balloon but do not tie the end.
3. Using the marker, make three dots on the balloon in a widely scattered
locations.
a. What did you observe from the activity?
b. Explain the big bang theory in relation to our activity.

v. Activity Proper

i. Activity (Collaborative Learning)

General Instructions
1. The Class will be grouped into four.
2. Each group will be given an activity sheet.

BIG BANG NUCLEOSYNTHESIS

Directions: Given the composition of each nucleus, complete the nucleosynthesis


reactions.

+ Beryllium 7
STELLAR NUCLEOSYNTHESIS
I. Directions: Label the sequence of star life cycle. Use the hints/clues found in the table.

II. Directions.
Observe the diagram. These will explain how stars are formed into different stages because of nuclear
fusion (Combination of nuclei to form heavier one) among heavy elements.

(CNO Cycle) Tri alpha process Alpha Ladder Process


S-process or slow process R-process or rapid process

1. What will happen if a low massive main sequence stars runs out of hydrogen fuel?
2. How are heavy elements such as Carbon, Oxygen and Neo formd during star formation?

ii. Analysis

1. What is Nucleosynthesis?
2. What is Big Bang Nucleosynthesis?
3. What are the different light elements?
4. How are light elements formed during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis?
5. What is Stellar Nucleosynthesis?
6. What are the different heavy elements formed in each stages of a star cycle?
7. How are heavy elemements such as Carbon, Oxygen and Neon formed during star
formation?
8. How are heavier elements formed during stellar nucleosynthesis?

iii. Abstraction

Describe the formation of heavier elements during star formation and evolution.

1. What is Big Bang Nucleosynthesis?


2. What is Stellar Nucleosynthesis?
3. What are the different stages of life cycle of stars?
4. Cite the different heavy element formed in each stages of star cycle.
5. Describe how heavier elements formed during stellar nucleosynthesis and evolution.

Students will complete the chart with


needed information on the
distinguishable
characteristics of quantitative and
qualitative research. The teacher
will then
clarify and elaborate the key concepts.
iv. Application
