questions on your H-R diagram gizmo worksheet with a partner January 26 Waning Crescent Illumination: 2% STAR NOTES PG 24 A star produces energy and light by nuclear fusion The Stars core combines hydrogen atoms to form helium which
releases energy and light. Scientists classify stars using 5 different criteria 1. Brightness (Luminosity) 2. Size- Means mass, which determines life cycle 3. Temperature- This determines a stars color, measured in Kelvin (K) 4. Composition- What elements a star is fusing 5. Color- Blue, white, yellow, orange, red.

sentences URSA MAJOR The Hunt The Micmac Indians of Nova Scotia and the Iroquois Indians along the St. Lawrence seaway share one story about the Big Bear. In this story, the quadrangle of the dipper represents a bear that is pursued by seven
hunters; the three closest hunters are the handle of the dipper. As autumn approaches, the four farthest hunters dip below the horizon and abandon the hunt, leaving the closest three hunters to chase the bear. The hunters are all named after birds. The closest hunter to the bear is named Robin, the second closest is Chickadee, and the third is Moose Bird. Chickadee is carrying the pot in which the bear will be cooked. The second star in the handle is actually two stars [the famous double star system] called Mizar and Alcor which represent Chickadee and the pot. In autumn, as the bear attempts to stand up on two legs,
Robin wounds the bear with an arrow. The wounded bear sprays blood on Robin, who shakes himself off and in the process, colors the leaves of the forest red; some blood stains Robin and he is henceforth called Robin Redbreast. The bear is eaten, and the skeleton remains traveling through the sky on its back during winter. During the following spring a new bear leaves the den and the MAKE YOUR OWN CONSTELLATIONS Constellations myths and culture ( read a constellation myth ) How does it represent the cultures beliefs about the cosmos?
