Direction: Identify what concept is being referred by the following questions. Choose your answer from the box and write
the word on the space provided. (1 point each)
Nebula Star Protostar Stage I
Black dwarf Main sequence Supernova Read giant

star
Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 Stage 5
_______1. The second stage in every star life, gravity pulls gases and dust together and nuclear fusion starts.
_______2. The third stage in every star’s life, the star is in its middle age, around 6 billion years old. 90% of a star’s life is
in this stage.
_______3. The fourth stage in a low mass star’s life, after the star has used up all its hydrogen, it starts to cool and
expand in an effort to start fusing helium atoms.
_______4. Is an extremely hot ball of gas with hydrogen fusing into helium. It also gives off heat, light, and other forms of
rotation.
_______5. The seventh stage of a low mass star, the gases have stopped glowing and all that remains is a dark piece of
space rock, our sun will end its life like this.

when it is done it explodes outwards
