This KS4 resource is for AQA GCSE Physics specification. It provides a visual summary of the life cycle of stars.

There are two different keyword lists - one has the vowels removed to provide more challenge to help students complete the diagram.

I will use this with y11 - It is a nice compact table . There may be a factual error - A white dwarf is technically no longer a star as there is no fusion. It is not big enough (massive) to cause fusion of the elements that have been created (e.g Helium or higher mass). so it is just a very hot ball of gas.

I am using this as part of a research science project for most able pupils in year 8.
