We will follow the core standards in this order: Standard I (Moon) Standard II (Seasons) Standard III (Objects in Solar System) Standard IV (Scale, Size) Standard V (Microorganisms) Standard VI (Heat, Light, Sound)
Standard I - Students will understand that the appearance of the moon changes in a predictable cycle as it orbits Earth and as Earth rotates on its axis.
Standard II - Students will understand how Earth's tilt on its axis changes the length of daylight and creates the seasons.
Standard III - Students will understand the relationship and attributes of objects in the solar system.
Standard IV - Students will understand the scale of size, distance between objects, movement, and apparent motion (due to Earth's rotation) of objects in the universe and how cultures have understood, related to and used these objects in the night sky.
Standard V -Students will understand that microorganisms range from simple to complex, are found almost everywhere, and are both
Standard VI - Students will understand properties and behavior of heat, light, and sound.
