Drawings and Illustrations
All illustrations, photographs, and drawings add to the purpose and interest of the 10
poster.
Layout and Design
The overall organization, design, use of color, and use of space help to make the
poster interesting and to communicate the message. 10

The poster is very neat and presentable including all Pictures.
Worked as a team: No team members wandered and disturbed other groups at any time during
the assignment ** Poster work must be done in class with group. You can work on 10
individual sections at home and put them into poster at school
* Use the rubric to make sure you have all elements required for a 100% poster Total: 105
 Stars-Life Cycle –Expanding Universe 26.1—26.5

Required Elements of Poster:

All written elements large or dark enough to See from seats…

Pictures neat and go with topic being explained

You will need to have four sections with the following Heading:
1. Life Cycle of Stars
2. Groups of Stars
3. Expanding Universe
4. The Sun

Life Cycle of Stars =

--Need Definitions of: Nebula , Protostar,
--Picture representing one for Nebula and one for Black Hole
--Explain super nova & black dwarf & white dwarf and factors that allow the three to form.
--Explain planetary nebula and one picture showing a planetary nebula
--Picture Showing Clearly The evolution of a star Include= Early stages / later stages of high mass and low mass stars
ending with black dwarf—neutron star or black hole
Groups of Stars =
--Draw & Explain the following Types of Galaxies = Spiral, Barred spiral, Elliptical, Irregular
--Definition of a Binary Star & Definition Star Cluster
--Picture Showing Clearly Globular cluster, associations cluster, open clusters.
--Explain what it would be like if we had more than one sun in our solar system
