I. OBJECTIVES
A. CONTENT The learners demonstrate an understanding of the formation of the elements
STANDARDS during the Big Bang and during stellar evolution.
B. PERFORMANCE The learners shall be able to make a creative representation of the historical
STANDARDS development of the light elements.

D. LEARNING The learners can describe how elements heavier than iron are formed.
COMPETENCIES (S11/12PS-IIIa-4)

 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.

Valley of Stability Worksheet 

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.

Plot the following isotopes on the graph.

35 Br 114
44 Ru 34
19 K

Answer the following questions:

1. What does the entire area on the graph represent?

 2. What does the black area represent? What is it called?

3. What does the straight line represent?

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?

Answer the following questions:

1. What does the entire area on the graph represent?

It represents all the possible nuclides that can form, including those that will decay because they are unstable.

2. What does the black area represent? What is it called?

It is the “valley of stability” and represents all the stable nuclides that can exist.

3. What does the straight line represent?

It has a slope of one and shows the expected trend for atoms with the same number of neutrons and protons in
their nuclei.
4. Which elements where charted outside the grey area? What would it indicate about those elements?
All nuclides that cannot form, because they are never unstable

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
