and evolution.
II. Content
a. Topic: Formation of Heavier Elements
b. Resources: MELC, Phoenix Book, Teachers Guide
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
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
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?
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
General Instructions
1. The Class will be grouped into four.
2. Each group will be given an activity sheet.
+ 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.
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.
v. Evaluation
I. Multiple Choice. Directions: Choose the letter of the best answer in each item and write your
answer on your quiz notebook.
II. Application
How are heavier elements formed during stellar nucleosynthesis and evolution?
vi. Assignment
Create a poster that illustrates the life cycle of a star and the formation of heavier elements.
Include key stages, processe and their connections.
