Cosmic Chemistry Project
Introduction
In Chemistry we learned about the beginning of the universes’ existence in theory being the Big Bang Theory in which we explored and learned more about. My STEM class focused more on the beginning towards the Big Bang theory and we created a model hanging it up on the wall as a class with information attached to it. This was the beginning which in this project that Im about to elaborate on is something we went more in depth in groups in with something we learned basing off of what we started off with which is radioactive decay. We made models on paper which I had to write down what I knew on stars. Stars contained a ton of beginning elements. This is important as we were beginning to understand what to do or how to model our project which we decided to base on a game. What my group and I did was focus on radioactive decay which we modeled through a game that’s similar to go fish.

In the picture above is what my class and I worked on which explains what happens after the Big Bang to what will happen with the Big Crunch or the Big Rip. My class separated in groups to get each category but collaborated for the art and model. My group and I worked on the death of stars which we finished early so we helped out with the art.

The file above is what my group contributed to my class in regards to information on Star death for that beginning class project which once we finished we focused on helping with the art and the actual model base with information with it.
In the picture above it demonstrates my knowledge on stars, specifically our sun just going off of what I know that’s in my head which we were given time in class to make two models.
Final Model
In the picture above is our final product for this project on Radioactive Decay which we modeled through a game. There are 27 pairs and 54 cards in total. On the back of each card it has the radioactive symbol on it. Each card covers some aspect of radiation or radioactive decay. Below is a file of the outline of our game not in specifics for we went in specifics when making the game.

Our slideshow is above which covers almost everything on the cards; being about equations, definitions, symbols, and some equations which the players fill in. It doesn’t have repeated cards so it would take longer to get the one specific card needed. Our slideshow above also covers the rules.
Reflection
Two things that went well I believe is our end model is finished and we knew what to do and did it. Two things that went poorly is our lack in wanting to do a video which might’ve made it look better, but no one really wanted to do it and messing around a bit but we were on task most of the time.
