Heavier Elements DLP PowerPoint - Description
This lesson focuses on the heavier elements produced in supernovae reactions.
F. Developing It is a short addendum to the previous lesson, but provides a context for
Mastery understanding the periodic table (i.e. alpha processes are important, but other
reactions like decay and s- and r- processes are necessary for the formation of
many elements)
G. APPLICATIONS Are elements heavier than iron important? Name some of their uses.
H. GENERALIZATIONS/ If the stellar nucleosynthesis produced only elements up to iron, then what
ABSTRACTION type of nucleosynthesis produced the elements heavier than iron?
I. EVALUATION The students will produce a model of proton-proton fusion using craft
supplies. In addition, each pair of students will build on an initial alpha
particle in order to create a final nucleus of iron.
The supplies for the model-building consist of two different colors of
cotton balls, with one color representing protons (e.g. white) and
another for neutrons (e.g. red).
Using glue and a paper backing, the students should model proton-
proton fusion as modeled in Lesson 3, slides 6-9.
In the next step, they should start with an alpha particle model and
continue to add an alpha particle (2 neutrons and 2 protons) until they
have a Fe-52 nucleus.

4. Which elements where charted outside the grey area? What would it indicate about those elements?
5. There are two K’s (potassium) atoms on the graph. What is it called there are two atoms of the same element
with different atomic masses? What on the subatomic level, is different between the two atoms?
6. Do all stable atoms have the same number of protons and neutrons?
Purpose: Some combinations of neutrons and protons form isotopes that are not stable and will decay or break apart.
This lesson shows how to predict the proper ratio of protons to neutrons to form stable isotopes. In nature we find that
stable isotopes have an ideal ratio of protons to neutrons. When charted on a graph (protons vs. neutrons) we see that
stability lies in an area called the band of stability.

5. There are two K’s (potassium) atoms on the graph. What is it called there are two atoms of the same element
with different atomic masses? What on the subatomic level, is different between the two atoms?
They are called isotopes. They have a different number of neutrons in their nuclei, but the number of protons is
the same.
6. Do all stable atoms have the same number of protons and neutrons?
No, as atoms get larger, they typically have more neutrons than protons
