Physical
Science/Earth and Space Science
- Objects
in the sky have patterns of movement. The sun, for example,
appears to move across the sky in the same way every day. (K-4)
- An
object's motion can be described by tracing and measuring its
position over time. (K-4)
- The
sun, moon, stars, clouds, birds, and airplanes all have properties,
locations, and movements that can be observed and described.
(K-4)
- Most
objects in the solar system are in regular and predictable motion.
Those motions explain phenomena such as the day, the year, phases
of the moon, and eclipses. (5-8)
- Seasons
result from variations in the amount of sun's energy hitting
the surface, due to the tilt of the earth's rotation on its
axis and the length of the day. (5-8)
