Scientific Views of the Universe

BELOW

--RECOGNIZE THE DIFFERENCE between heliocentric and geocentric models

--RECOGNIZE the big bang as the prevailing theory for the formation of the known universe
APPROACHING

--COMPARE AND CONTRAST technological advances that have changed the amount and type of information on distant objects in the sky.
MEETS

--ASK QUESTIONS AND DETERMINE CHANGES in models of the Earth's position in solar system and origins of the universe as evidence that scientific theories change with the addition of new information.
EXCEEDS

--PROVIDE ARGUMENT OR JUSTIFICATION for the application of an understanding to a novel situation.

3,000 yr old trees in NC?
Meteorite strike on mars?
WOlf head in siberia?

how do these discoveries change things?

Why do people get excited?
Planets

BELOW

--IDENTIFY planets in order by the relative distance from the sun.

--RECOGNIZE DIFFERENCES in composition of inner and outer planets
APPROACHING

--EXPLAIN DIFFERENCES between stars and planets in the sky
--EVALUATE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES in models of our solar system in describing relative size, order, appearance, and composition of planets and the sun.
MEETS

--DEVELOP A MODEL to describe the position of the solar system in the milky way galaxy and the known universe
--ANALYZE AND INTERPRET DATA to compare and contrast the planets, relative to earth, in terms of size, relative distance from the sun, surface and atmospheric features, and ability to support life
EXCEEDS

--GATHER, ANALYZE, AND EVALUATE information from multiple sources regarding exoplanets and the possibility of finding Earth2.0!
Asteroids, Comets, Meteors

BELOW

--IDENTIFY Asteroids, comets, and meteors on a graphic or table.
APPROACHING

--CATEGORIZE asteroids, comets, and meteors based on composition and location.
MEETS

--ANALYZE AND INTERPRET DATA to compare and contrast the characteristics, composition, and location of comets, asteroids, and meteors
EXCEEDS

--GATHER,ANALYZE,EVALUATE INFORMATION TO DRAW CONCLUSIONS

Gravity and Inertia

BELOW

--IDENTIFY gravity as the force that affects earth and other objects in the sky
APPROACHING

--GENERATE A HYPOTHESIS BASED ON OBSERVATION relating gravity to motion of objects in the solar system.
MEETS

--DEVELOP AND USE A MODEL to explain how gravity and inertia are forces that governs motion of objects in the solar system
EXCEEDS

--APPLY UNDERSTANDING TO A NOVEL SITUATION

how do we use this to get to mars
