Students build models to illustrate solar nuclear fusion. These models may be diagrams, illustrations, or charts.
Students grasp the connection between light's wavelength and energy. Shorter wavelengths, like blue light, carry more energy than longer wavelengths, like red light.
Students create a model of the sun to show its size, layers, and the processes occurring in each.
Students learn and categorize the electromagnetic spectrum, from lowest to highest energy: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays.
