Concept Compare: Why Does the Sun Shine? Thermonuclear Fusion! (p-p and CNO)

Created by

Astronomy, Chemistry, Physics

This Concept Comparison of Thermonuclear Fusion contrasts proton-proton (p-p) chain reactions, and the "cold" carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycles. Help Ss communicate scientific ideas about the way stars produce elements over their life cycle. Emphasis is on the way nucleosynthesis, and therefore the different elements created, varies as a function of the mass of a star and the stage of its lifetime. As cosmologist Carl Sagan famously said, “We are made of star stuff.” And we literally are! We a

Concept Comparison Frame: Laws of Thermodynamics

Created by

What are Laws of Thermodynamics? This concept comparison introduces Ss to the laws of the thermodynamics, pressure-volume diagrams for ideal gases, processes which are isothermal, isovolumetic, and adiabatic, and explains differences in enthropy and enthalpy. Through inquiry and exploration, students will describe how the law of conservation of energy dictates how heat energy is transferred through systems by convection, conduction, and radiation, its influences on changes of states of matter an

Physics Guided Notes- Force, Friction, and Newtons Laws

Created by

Science with Mrs Nelson

These guided notes are a great way to discuss force, friction, and Newtons Laws. I have embedded examples and practice problems throughout. I have also included lab ideas where they are applicable. These notes are based on the textbook "Holt Physics". An answer key is provided, so the use of a textbook is not necessary.I use these guided notes to replace boring lectures. They turn covering new material into more of a discussion than a one-way conversation.Topics covered include--Sir Isaac New

Question Exploration: Spring Force, Hooke's Law and Simple Harmonic Motion

Created by

This Question Exploration helps Ss answer the question: How does a spring scale work? Ss will identify conditions of simple harmonic motion and relate to Hooke's Law to find the spring force and spring constant. Ss will also examine the relationship between the amount a linear spring is stretched and the restoring force that acts to return the spring to its rest length. This concept is central to an understanding of elastic potential energy in mechanical systems and has implications in the study
