1. How do humans owe their lives to the deaths of stars?
• These stars created us occurring to science.
2. What's a nebula?
• A cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium, and gas.
3. Explain the process by which a star is formed.
• Gas and dust form in a size 10 times our solar system.
4. What creates a star’s heat/energy (use the words hydrogen and helium in your answer).
• Burning hydrogen and converting it into helium.
5. What's the most common type of star?
• Red Dwarfs.
6. Why do bigger stars die faster than smaller stars?
• Burn fuel more quickly, because they contain more mass.
7. How old is our sun?
• 4.5 billion years.
8. When will our sun die?
• When the sun is out of fuel; in 5 billion years.

How are all the elements up to iron created?
• Layer of heavier and heavier elements.
14. How are all the elements beyond iron created?
• Made indirectly or directly made up of exploding stars.
15. Where does the calcium in your bones and the iron in your blood come from?
• Long dead stars.
16. Where do neutron stars come from? What's interesting about them? Why would you weigh more if you could stand on one?
• Neutrons come from protons+ neutrons. What is interesting about them is their massive weight. If you stand on one you would weigh more because, it weighs more than a billion tons.
17. Compare the “science fiction” idea of a black hole with what a black hole actually is.
• Science fiction: vacuum cleaner. What a black hole actually is gravity victory over mass plus complete collapse of a massive star.
18. How does the lifecycle of stars support the idea that everything in the universe is connected and that we are all part of one family? How does that connect to your catholic education?
• Early exploration of stars created us. Stars who die give us the seed of next generations of stars which gives life to planets and human life.
