Nuclear Fusion Presentation.

Select a topic: • Earth’s motion through space • Electromagnetic radiation • Blackbody radiation • Geometric Parallax • Nuclear Fusion • Luminosity-size-temperature relationship • HR Diagrams • Other (only with permission from Amanda!) Instructions Record a 3-6 minute video of yourself explaining your chosen topic as teaching it to a friend or family member who has not taken this class. The video can just be you talking (as if over face time). You may use visuals if you want, but they are not required. I will stop watching at the 6 minute mark, so anything not covered in the required timeframe will not be graded. Grading and Rubric You will be graded on a scale of 0 to 3 for including each of the following in your video: 2 Student gives a brief overview of their chosen topic, with minor misconceptions or inaccurate statements. Student gives necessary background for understanding their chosen topic, with minor misconceptions or inaccurate statements. Student explains the physics behind their chosen topic with minor misconceptions or inaccurate statements. 1 Student gives a brief overview of their chosen topic, with major misconceptions or inaccurate statements.
