Instruction/ Discuss how hydrogen and helium atoms in stars began combining in
Delivery nuclear fusion reaction ( PPC reaction, Triple Alpha process and CNO
cycle) once hydrogen-helium stars had formed from the action of gravity
using a PowerPoint presentation.
Practice Review lesson using a concept map with mostly blank spaces. Let the
learners complete the diagram by filling the missing terms.
Have the learners write all the equations involve in the Alpha ladder using
the periodic table.
Explain that the feature of the alpha ladder, as well as the rules of
stability, results in the odd number elements being less abundant than the
even number elements beside them on the periodic table.
Emphasize that many processes allowed for the odd numbered elements ,
including supernova nucleosynthesis, radioactive decay , electron capture
, nuclear fission, and cosmic ray spallation.
