Expectations

SAST5.a
Develop and use models to explain the process of stellar evolution from star birth to star death, including binary systems.
SAST5.b
Construct an argument based on evidence from the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram to assess the properties of stars, including density, luminosity, temperature, rates of fusion, and spectral class.
SAST5.c
Ask questions to evaluate evidence that predicts the lifespan and final stage of stellar evolution based on mass. (Clarification statement: Include stellar remnants and events such as neutron stars, pulsars, black holes, supernovae.)
SAST5.d
Construct an argument based on evidence that explores the connections among various cosmic phenomena and leading theories.
