Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

(for both parts of Module W0_34 (PI and NPI)) An overview of the origin of the chemical elements in the universe is given - from the Big Bang to the fusion in stars to supernovae, leading to the distribution of the elements in the solar system, meteorites, and the planets, including Earth. This leads to an understanding of chemical and material cycles in the universe. An understanding of the interaction between extraterrestrial forces and the Earth results from such studies. In addition, we will work out the structure, origin, and composition of the solar system and the individual planets and other members of the solar system, resulting in an overview of planetary geology.
