Performance Task Unit 1- Elements: From Stars to Atoms
Storyboard Text
- Here is where the power plant should be built.Ask away then.
- But wait we have many questions concerning this power plant and things to do with it.
- Well, reactors are fueled by uranium, too much inhalation of uranimum is bad as it is a toxic chemical. The number of protons in an atom makes an element different and elements come from the big bang, cosmic, rays, large stars, small stars, supernovae, and man made lab. This was found in labs we did in class and with the Neil Degrasse video
- First we want to know What are nuclear reactors made of?What makes elements different from one another? and Where do elements come from?
- They are different because elements can have the same atomic number , Different atomic masses also they differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. We see this in our periodic table. Elements are created inside of stars and dispersed in a supernovae that's how they for. Which was also stated in the Neil Degrasse video. In unstable elements the nucleus will change to a more stable from in a process called radioactive decay. Last we know the age of the Earth by Radiometric dating , which geologists do.
- Second How are atoms of the same element similar and different? How do elements form and how are they dispersed? What happens to unstable elements? and How do we know the age of the Earth?
- To answer your last questions when wind blows across the sea surface energy is transferred to the waves. Also elements are organized on a periodic table from left to right, top to bottom, in order of increasing atomic number. You can see this on the actually periodic table and I study this in my chem class.
- Last we want to know How do waves create energy? What are the properties of elements and how are they organized?
- Is that all your questions about the power plant and the things that deal with it?
- Yes now we have a better understanding and we will allow the power plant to be built
- Thank you for your time this power plant will overall help produce even more electricity
- No problem and thank you for answering all of our questions.
