Students in Ms. Ellen's class are continuing their studies on stars.  This week, they learned about the life cycle of a star.  Students drew and labeled each step in the life cycle.

This lesson supports development of scientific vocabulary, sequencing events and the ability to create a model of new information. 

Did you know that large stars burn their fuel more quickly and may only last a few hundred thousand years, while small stars can burn for several billion years??
