I. CONTENT
A. CONTENT STANDARD The learners demonstrate an understanding of the formation of the
elements during the Big Bang and during stellar evolution.
D. SPECIFIC LEARNING At the end of the lesson, the learners will be able to:
OUTCOMES 1. explain stellar nucleosynthesis;
2. describe the different stages of life cycle of stars;
3. cite the different heavy elements formed in each stages of star
cycle
Label the sequence of star life cycle. Use the hints/clues found in
the table below this diagram.

B. Analysis 1.What element from space is pulled by gravity and turn into a protostar?
2.What will happen if a low massive main sequence star runs out of
hydrogen fuel?
3.How are heavy elements such as Carbon, Oxygen and Neon formed
during star formation?
4.Why is it impossible for any matter such as light and radiation to escape
from a black hole?
5.Why do you think massive star has shorter life span than average star?
C. Abstraction Look at the diagrams below. These will explain how stars are formed into
different stages because of nuclear fusion (combination of nuclei to form
heavier one) among heavy elements.
The explosion of star or supernova is believed to be the source of other elements
heavier than Iron. During the explosion, these heavy elements are dispersed into
the space. Aside from gases Hydrogen and Helium in space, other evidence of
star formation is the energy emitted during nuclear reaction. It is also the energy
emitted by different forms of radiation such as UV, Infrared, X-ray, radio wave
and microwave.
3. If the sun reaches the end of red giant phase, it will evolve
into _______.
a. black hole c. red super giant
b. supernova d. white dwarf
10. What object is formed from gas and dust particles which
are pulled together by gravity and no nuclear fusion has
happened yet?
a. nebula c. protostar
b. main sequence star d. red supergiant star
12. What is the sign that a protostar will transform into the
next stage?
a. When the it starts to spin faster
b. When it starts to glow
c. When Hydrogen nuclear fusion begins
d. When it increases temperature igniting the Hydrogen
