So recently in my science class we started learning about astronomy. Astronomy is such a broad topic and so hard to learn in a short matter of time. Our teachers solution to that was to have everybody split up into groups of two, and then we do a lottery to see which topic each person gets. My partner Robbie and I got “Nuclear Reaction and How Stars Work”.
We thought that this was going to be an interesting topic as the sun itself is one giant ball of fire slowly getting bigger, and we wanted to know how that exactly works. Most of or project was just doing basic research. We wanted to add an experiment in where we take some object and just cover it in something highly flammable and light it on fire but, its not a greate idea becuase, that is how one fo us burns ourselves, and also it wouldnt really accomplish much.
My partner and I then decided to put this information that we had acquired and put it into a video. We thought that a video was the best way to portray our information, as it is done all the time by proffestionals, and we also thought you could do a lot more with a video than with a Keynote, as that was our other option. So here is our video on how stars are created and sustained:
Lastly becuase there are so many different parts of astronomy we had to learn interconnect everything we learned about astronomy, and here that is:
This project was a lot fo fun, and I plan on learning more about astronomy in the future as there is so much even scientists dont know about it, and this topic intrigues me a lot.
