Seat work #1: Formation of the Heavy Element

Activity 1. The Galaxy Puzzle

Direction: A. Read the short story provided below and find the 5 words related to physics
and chemistry. Use items 1-5 as a guide to find the words.

Once, there was a spy named Hydrogen (nicknamed Hy) with massive issues on
trusting Angela, his agency partner. There was always the possibility that their opinions
crash against each other rather than end in a peaceful fusion like when Hy suggests the
suspect of the crime they were investigating could be in the East Coast but Angela argues
that the place should be in the West Coast. They were almost fired from the job for being
too unprofessional, almost becoming the ‘big bang’ to their careers. The gravity of the
situation made Hy and Angela rethink their attitude and agree to be more understandable
of each other’s differences on opinions.
B. Chemistry and Physics words found in the story:

______________________1. This is the lightest element in the periodic table.

______________________2. This is what happens when elements combine together, usually
resulting to new elements.
______________________3. This is the theory which proposes the universe is still in the process
of inflation.
______________________4. This is the term for stars bigger than our own Sun.
______________________5. This is what pulls atoms together and what causes the Earth to orbit
the Sun.
