PHYSICAL SCIENCE
FIRST QUARTER
MODULE NO. 1
TOPIC: FORMATION OF ELEMENTS
I. INTRODUCTION
In your previous Grade 11 subject “Earth and Life Science”, you’ve learned the different theories about
the creation of the universe and solar system. You were able to explain the different theories and give
evidences that would support them. But have you ever wondered, asking yourself “When and how are
the elements formed in the universe?” Or “Why did the universe created the elements?
By the end of this module, you will understand on how chemical elements are formed and distributed
during the big bang explosion and formation of the stars, as well as on how the scientists synthesized
new (synthetic) elements in the laboratory.
II. COMPETENCIES/OBJECTIVES
1. Give evidence for and describe the formation of heavier elements during star formation and
evolution.
2. Explain how the concept of atomic number led to the synthesis of new elements in the
laboratory.
III. PRELIMINARIES
A. Pre-test / Vocabulary
Directions: Identify what is asked or described in each item below.
_______1. These are elements that have the same atomic number but different mass numbers.
_______2. It is a phenomenon where electromagnetic radiation from an object undergoes an
increase in wavelength.
_______3. It is a continuum of color formed when a beam of white light is dispersed so that
its component wavelengths are arranged in order.
_______4. It is not naturally occurring or rather it is artificially made by a human.
_______5. It is when an object is not filled with gas or air.
B. Activating Prior Knowledge
Diagram 1 Diagram 2
Answer the following questions:
1. In diagram 1, what will happen if the white billiard ball strikes to other billiard balls?
2. In diagram 2, what will happen to the parts of car and truck after collision?
C. Motivation
Take a look at the diagram and answer the following
questions:
1. What do you think was the appearance of the
universe before the big bang?
2. How related is the big bang to the creation of the
chemical elements?

IV. CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
A. Presentation of the Concept
Activity 1
Directions: Watch the video on youtube- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EpcUohHees
After watching the video, answer the following questions:
1. What elements were formed right after the big bang?
2. Make a pie graph to check the percentages of these elements.
3. After the big bang explosion, how were the elements created during stellar formation?
4. Why do you think the elements heavier than Iron cannot be created within a star?
1. Origin of the Chemical Elements
Nucleosynthesis is a thermonuclear reaction that produces a new chemical element from
another element. It is classified into three categories:
Big bang nucleosynthesis is the formation of light elements in the universe.
Stellar nucleosynthesis is the process by which elements are created within stars combining
the protons and neutrons together from the nuclei of lighter elements.
Supernova nucleosynthesis involves the production of new elements during an explosion of
a massive star.
Activity 2
Experiment time!
Provide the following:
• Balloons
• Balloon pump (optional)
• Small stickers (any design)
Instructions: a. Attach small stickers randomly on the surface of the uninflated balloon.
b. Quickly inflate the balloon with a pump or your breath. Observe the stickers.
Answer the following questions:
1. Why do the stickers appear to be moving away from each other?
2. Are the stickers moving across the balloon?
3. Do the stickers themselves grow in size?
Conclusion:
