Massive Stars Science Article #1 | Science Reading / Literacy

Massive stars are the lifeblood of galaxies, they are the brightest parts of our Milky way and while not always blue, they are always huge if they are indeed massive main-sequence stars. From supernova to the leftover cores of stars such as neutron stars, there is a lot to learn about massive stars and this resource has got you covered on that front! Let’s learn about it together.

There is also a corresponding science research project template as well which is available which pairs well with this item.

This science article provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons. It is an article with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking. I am very proud of this series of science articles and they are rich with information and wonder at the majesty of science. Each science article includes a fun fact(s) to add to the knowledge gained from this article. Formatted in an easy to read and digest manner, each paragraph is numbered to help with referencing and each question answer has a paragraph reference number to point to the specific information (where applicable).
