The first module talks about how elements are formed and it is divided into three lessons:
Lesson 1: The Formation of Light Elements
The following key questions are essential in understanding the origins of the very first elements formed which occurred as far back as the beginning of time as we know it:
a. What are the light elements?
b. Why are they called light elements?
c. How are they formed?
d. What type of energy was required to form the light elements?
e. Why were heavier elements not formed the same way that the light elements were?
Lesson 2: Stellar Formation and Evolution
The next lesson, Stellar Formation and Evolution, as the title suggests, simply discusses the different stages in the "life cycle" of stars, as well as its different forms. This topic will serve as the foundation for better and faster understanding of the next lesson.
In this lesson, the following questions will be asked:
a. How are stars "born"?
b. What Nuclear Processes take place in stars?
c. What fuels stars?
d. What is the relationship between surface area, mass, luminosity and lifespan in stars?
e. How do stars "die"?
Lesson 3: The Formation of the Heavier and the Heaviest Elements
Having fully understood the concepts behind stellar energy, this next lesson should be easy as pea. Similar questions as the formation of light elements will be asked:
a. What are the heavier and heaviest elements?
b. How are they formed?
c. Why were they not formed during the Big Bang?
