Lifecycle of a Star 
You will be exploring the life cycle of a star by writing down the various phases of a star's life on one side of a star cut-out, and creating a comic or story on the other side about the day in the life of a certain phase of that star, i.e. "a day in the life of a white dwarf". Be sure to use your research to present the most accurate information and include detail in describing the life of a star. For the story or comic, be creative and have fun with it! Use the rubric to guide you for this project.
