Many people think the different stages in the life of a star are actually different types of stars, rather than just stages in the life of a single star. In this fun activity learners discover the lifecycle of stars and learn when supernovae happen. This activity can be used indoors or outdoors, before a star party, in a classroom, or at a club meeting. The pdf contains step-by-step instructions, photos, presentation tips, background information, and ready-to-print handouts.
