OUTCOMES
• ALL students should be able to describe
what fusion is.
• MOST students should be able to
participate sensibly in team work to
produce a presentation that summarises
information and evaluate others’ work.
• SOME students should be able to explain
the process of fusion at a nuclear level
and create models to help their
explanations.

What is nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is the process which powers the Sun
and other stars.
In this process, small nuclei
join together to form larger
nuclei and energy is released.
In the Sun’s core, at
temperatures of 15 million °C,
hydrogen nuclei fuse to form
helium nuclei and release
vast amounts of energy.
A worldwide research programme is being carried out
to find ways in which nuclear fusion could be harnessed
on Earth as a clean and plentiful source of energy.
