Stellar nucleosynthesis hands on demonstration - formation of elements
Description
A beautiful and intuitively way to tell the story of element formation for the first great lessons, stellar nucleosynthesis.
Elements are the ingredients that make up everything including our body. Where do these elements come from?
I have used the transparency of the acrylic material to my advantage and used it to demontrate nuclear fusion - overlap 4 hydrogen nuclei (1H) to form a helium nucleus (4He).
Overlap 2 He nuclei (4He) to form one Beryllium nucleus.
Start with showing what elements make up our human body (provided in the control canvas) and demostrate the formation of each of those starting from hydrogen.
Students can count the particles in each of the nucleus and intuitively understand how nuclear fusion happened and how elements were formed.

🌌 18 acrylic nucleus cards (4 Hydrogen, 3 Helium, 2 Beryllium, 2 Carbon, 2 Oxygen, 1 Neon, 1 Magnesium, 2 Silicon and 1 Iron)
