LESSON PLAN
IN
Physical Science 12
I. CONTENT
A. CONTENT STANDARD The learners demonstrate an understanding of the formation of the
elements during the Big Bang and during stellar evolution.
The learners demonstrate an understanding of the distribution of

the chemical elements and the isotopes in the universe
B. PERFORMANCE STANDARD The learners can make a creative representation of the historical
development of the atom or the chemical element in a timeline.
C. LEARNING COMPETENCIES
Give evidence for and describe the formation of heavier elements during
star formation and evolution (S11/12PS-IIIa-2)
D. SPECIFIC LEARNING At the end of the lesson, the learners will be able to:
OUTCOMES 1. explain stellar nucleosynthesis;
2. describe the different stages of life cycle of stars;
3. cite the different heavy elements formed in each stages of star
cycle
II. SUBJECT MATTER

A. Topic Stellar Nucleosynthesis: Rise of the Stars
B. Materials Pictures, Projector and Computer
C. Reference Physical Science 12 Module
III. PROCEDURE
 Greetings
 Prayer
 Checking of Attendance
 Setting of Classroom Rules
Review Review the stages of the Big Bang model, giving particular focus to
nucleosynthesis and the formation of light elements such as H and He.
Discuss briefly that more significant amounts of Li, Be and B formed
through other processes, such as cosmic ray spallation. Remind them that
once matter had recombined, gravity and other forces acted to bring
matter together, eventually forming stars 200 B years after the Big Bang
occurred.
Motivation The world where we live today is just a small part of our universe. In your
previous years, you have learned about the different theories of the origin
of the universe that eventually led to the formation of galaxies, solar
system and other heavenly bodies. This lesson will focus on one of those
wonderful things present in outer space, the stars. Although stars are
millions of light years away from us, we can still see them twinkling in
the night sky. Let’s find out how they emit light and what keeps them
shining for a long time.
IV. LESSON PROPER
A. Activity  Stellar Nucleosynthesis

 The word “stellar” means star and the formation of elements in the
center of the star is called stellar nucleosynthesis. Carl Sagan said
that “We are made of star stuff.” What did he mean by that? If we
know how some important heavy elements were formed same as
stars, that maybe a clue.
Label the sequence of star life cycle. Use the hints/clues found in
the table below this diagram.

7.______ 6.______
B. Analysis 1.What element from space is pulled by gravity and turn into a protostar?
2.What will happen if a low massive main sequence star runs out of
hydrogen fuel?
3.How are heavy elements such as Carbon, Oxygen and Neon formed
during star formation?
4.Why is it impossible for any matter such as light and radiation to escape
from a black hole?
5.Why do you think massive star has shorter life span than average star?
C. Abstraction Look at the diagrams below. These will explain how stars are formed into
different stages because of nuclear fusion (combination of nuclei to form
heavier one) among heavy elements.
The explosion of star or supernova is believed to be the source of other elements
heavier than Iron. During the explosion, these heavy elements are dispersed into
the space. Aside from gases Hydrogen and Helium in space, other evidence of
star formation is the energy emitted during nuclear reaction. It is also the energy
emitted by different forms of radiation such as UV, Infrared, X-ray, radio wave
and microwave.
