What does the x-axis on the HR-diagram tell you about a star?

Stellar class or temperature.

100

Is oil, biotic or abiotic?

Abiotic.

100

What is the first stage in a main sequence star's life cycle?  Like how does it begin (Think of it as a toddler)

Protoplanetary nebula 

100

What are two types of diffuse nebulae?

Emission nebulae and reflection nebulae.

100

Pick a number between one and four.

You each get 500 points, but then you give all your points to the number you chose:

1= Blue

2= Pink

3= Orange

4 = Green

:) everyone wins!

200

What does the y-axis tell you about a star on the HR-diagram?

Magnitude or luminosity / absolute magnitude or apparent magnitude.

200

List three abiotic factors that may affect an ecosystem.

water, wind, space, light, temperature, earthquakes, volcanoes etc...

200

What is a red giant or a red super giant fusing together?

Helium atoms into heavier elements.

200

Which two nebulae appear most in the life of stars?  They play a role.  

Protoplanetary nebulae and planetary nebulae.  Double points if you included supernovas.

200

¿Qué le dice un pato a otro pato?

Vamos empatados

300

Where are white dwarfs found on the HR-diagram?  

Bottom left corner

300

List two biotic factors that may affect plants.

Primary consumers, secondary consumers, deforestation, climate change, pollution etc...
300

How are massive stars and main sequence stars different AFTER they stop fusing elements? 

Main sequence stars produce a planteray nebula and massive stars produce a supernova.

300

Diagram the evolution of galaxies (use your notes).  1 minute.

Must include irregular to spirals (both bared and regular) then to elliptical galaxies. 

300

¿A dónde van las pulgas cuando se mueren?

Al pulgatorio.

400

Where is our sun located on the HR-diagram (draw it)

...  needs to be close enough.

400

Giraffes are believed to have adapted to growing plants and they developed longer necks.  Is this an example of an abiotic or biotic factor?

Biotic.

400

What is a white dwarf fusing?

Nothing.  It is cooling off. 

Double points!!!

400

which wavelengths have the highest frequency?

Gamma rays.

400

Diagram this joke.  Best ones win.  1 minute.

¿Sabes qué le dice un jaguar a otro?

¿Jaguar you?

Triple points!!!   

500
Draw and label the HR-diagram with the following:

Luminosity, stellar class/temperature, Main sequence stars, white dwarfs, red giants, super giants.  

you have one minute.

TRIPLE POINTS!!!

500

What is biodiversity?

The variety of organisms within a habitat or ecosystem.


Double points!!!

500

What type of star is our sun?  How does it compare to other stars (size and temperature), and what number represents it on the luminosity side of the HR-diagram?

500 pts - Main sequence star

1k pts - main sequence plus average size and average temperature.

1.5k - main sequence plus average size and average temperature plus 1 on the luminosity side of the HR-diagram... and double points!!! (3k technically)

500

Which wavelengths have the lowest frequency?

Radio waves.


500

Dice game.

Blue vs green  winner gets 500 pts, loser gets to spin for the win.

pink vs orange winner gers 500 pts, loser gets to spin for the win.


Losing teams may choose to swap scores with whichever color the spin landed on.
