Your homework this week is to read over the section in our book on the Periodic Table (which we’ll be studying) on pages 109-117 and find something that is really interesting to you.
Be creative.
Make it personal.
Learn something

how long does it have to be
No length requirement!
ok thanks

I found it interesting how nuclear fusion occurred to create new elements. When two atomic nuclei combine it forms an element on the periodic table. Also when helium builds up in a sun’s core other fusion reactions happen and it makes new elements. In this video it shows how a new star gets most of its energy from H and He. H and He are the main start of new elements inside of the star as fusion occurs. As fusion continues, many new elements are created. Once a star creates iron, this is the endpoint of the star. A supernova occurs and blows up the star. The supernova then creates the rest of the elements on the periodic table.

mr harrelson this said that i posted my hw at 5:03 but the actual time is 1:04 on monday so i think the time might be messed up on griffinscience
Ah, time zone setting must be off (set to default UTC time… which is really interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time ).
All fixed now!
I like learning what is reactive to each other because I like mixing things together and seeing what happens. I also liked how plasma is made by atoms that were stripped of their electrons. Finally I think it was amazing that Mendeleev just woke up one day and wrote down what was in his head about the perotic table.

i dont get what we r suposed to do. do we write a paper or do we…what?
@Rebecca… nope, no paper needed… just find something interesting!
can i tell u during MAC tomorrow?
k thanks
I think it that when a supernova occurs it can be as hot as 1 billion degrees C. I also think that when a supernova occurs that it can create and blow off the very heavy elements.
