We watched Brain Pop Life Cycle of Stars (subscription required)
Students created Layered Foldable
And we did a lab with 2 balloons - one we blew up half way (small/medium mass star) the other blown up all the way (large mass star). Let the air out of the sm/med. very slowly, let the large out quickly - time both. Compare the model to the actual lifecycle of stars.
- Large mass stars use fuel faster...
- Small/Medium mass stars use fuel slower...
