CS.6 Earth and the Solar System

Standards

  1. Oklahoma Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS): Science > G.7 > Earth/Space Science > S.6

    Earth and the Solar System - The earth is the third planet from the sun in a system that includes the moon, the sun, seven other planets and their moons, and smaller objects (e.g., asteroids, comets, dwarf planets).  The student will engage in investigations that integrate the process standards and lead to the discovery of the following objectives:

    Content Skills Learning Targets Big Ideas Essential Questions
    4 - Integrate (Investigations)
    4 - I can integrate process standards in an investigation to discover more about this standard.
    A. The solar system has various objects that surround the sun.
    A.1 How are the objects that circle the sun different?
    A.2 How many and in what order are the objects that circle the sun?
  2. Oklahoma Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS): Science > G.7 > Earth/Space Science > S.6 > O.1

    Most objects in the solar system are in regular and predictable motion.  Those motions explain such phenomena as the day, the year, phases of the moon, and eclipses.

  3. Oklahoma Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS): Science > G.7 > Earth/Space Science > S.6 > O.2

    Seasons result from variations in the amount of the sun’s energy hitting the surface, due to the tilt of the earth’s rotation on its axis and the length of the day.  The relationship of motion of the Sun, Earth, and Earth's Moon is a result of the force of gravity.
