Big Hitory Activity 6 Gec 2q

The document is an activity sheet that tests knowledge of concepts related to nucleosynthesis during the Big Bang and star formation. It contains 10 multiple choice questions about key terms and processes like big bang nucleosynthesis, the products formed, events that led to the formation of helium-3 and hydrogen, and the role of stars in the early universe. It also instructs students to complete a Venn diagram comparing low and high mass stars using 5 answers for each.
