Meet with your nebula
partner
Discuss with your partner what you think might be
necessary for stars to form? What might the key
ingredients or events be? How might interstellar
medium be transformed into stars? On you white
board represent what you discussed and be ready to
share with the class.
Student Instruction for using chrome
books for research on Stellar
formation
Read Stage 1 to Stage 3
with your Nebula partner
at each of the following

Partner again
Discuss nuclear fusion in stars, why is the
size of the star important?

on an atomic scale on your white board.
Now that you have learned about
star formation, meet with your
Main Sequence Star partner and
draw out the formation of stars
on your poster board.
Book pg. 472

Read with your Main
Sequence Partner

become main sequence stars then review all of
the stages and look through any extra information
