Session Date
Lesson Topic
The elements; fusion
Lesson Outline
In order to understand the full importance of the fusion processes inside stars, and what role they play in the life cycle of the stars, we need to understand the fundamentals of the elements. So today we studied the periodic table and discussed how the order of the elements in the table is related to the number of protons in the nucleus. We also revisited the basic principles of the structure of the atom, and we touched upon the strong nuclear force.
Assignment
Describe in a few sentences the history of the discovery of the atom, from Democritus ('uncuttable' model), through Rutherford's, Bohr's, Thomson's models, concluding with our understanding today

Lesson Comments
We covered a very complex topic today, but Jared told me that in fact today's lesson explained a lot of what we went through yesterday. Through his questions and comments during the class, it did indeed appear that he has started grasping the ideas covered.
