- Includes Lesson Outlines/Pacing Guide! (DAY 4 & 5 Could be combined into one day if you wish!)
Includes:
- Telescope Technology
- Stars
- Planets
- Stars vs. Planets
- Accurate Vs. Inaccurate Models of the Solar System
Standard:
S4E1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to compare and contrast the physical attributes of stars and planets.
a. Ask questions to compare and contrast technological advances that have changed the amount
and type of information on distant objects in the sky.
b. Construct an argument on why some stars (including the Earth’s sun) appear to be larger or
brighter than others.
(Clarification statement: Differences are limited to distance and size, not age or stage of evolution.)
c. Construct an explanation of the differences between stars and planets.
d. Evaluate strengths and limitations of models of our solar system in describing relative size,
order, appearance and composition of planets and the sun.
(Clarification statement: Composition of planets is limited to rocky vs. gaseous.)
