2. Meaningful Class Participation and Effort Category 3 2 1 Quality of Work Provides work of the highest quality. Provides high quality work. Provides work that occasionally needs to be checked/redone. Provides work that usually needs to be checked/ redone to ensure quality Focus on the Task Consistently stays focused on the task and what needs to be done. Very self directed. Focuses on the task and what needs to be done most of the time. Other group members can count on this person. Focuses on the task and what needs to be done some of the time. Other group members must sometimes nag, prod, and remind to keep this person on task. Rarely focuses on the task and what needs to be done. Lets others do the work. Preparedness Brings needed materials to class and is always ready to work. Almost always brings needed materials to class and is ready to work. Almost always brings needed materials but sometimes needs to settle down and get to work. Often forgets needed materials or is rarely ready to get to work. Effort Work reflects an excellent effort from this student. Work reflects a strong effort from this student. Work reflects some effort from this student. Work reflects very little effort on the part of this student.

They are held together by the enormous gravitational forces caused by their own mass. Inside the core of a star, these forces create a harsh environment, with pressure more than a billion times the atmospheric pressure on Earth.

Show-up, Engage & Produce Video Nuclear Fusion in Stars Inside the core of a star, these forces create a harsh environment, with pressure more than a billion times the atmospheric pressure on Earth. The temperature is hotter than 15 million kelvins , and the density is over 150 times greater than that of water.

In extreme conditions, nuclear fusion reactions combine the nuclei of hydrogen atoms into helium with a release of energy. This energy flows outward, balancing the inward pull of gravity.

Fission involves splitting the nucleus of a heavy atom, such as uranium. This yields two or more lighter nuclei and a large amount of energy. Nuclear fusion is an atomic reaction that fuels stars. In fusion, many nuclei (the centers of atoms) combine together to make a larger one (which is a different element). The result of this process is the release of a lot of energy. The resultant nucleus is smaller in mass than the sum of the ones that made it; the difference in mass is converted into energy.
