SC.8.E.5.11 (Level 3) – Identify and compare characteristics of the electromagnetic spectrum such as wavelength, frequency, use, and hazards and recognize its application to an understanding of planetary images and satellite photographs.
SC.8.E.5.10 (Level 3) – Assess how technology is essential to science for such purposes as access to outer space and other remote locations, sample collection, measurement, data collection and storage, computation, and communication of information
SC.8.E.5.3 (Level 3) – Distinguish the hierarchical relationships between planets and other astronomical bodies relative to solar system, galaxy, and universe, including distance, size, and composition.
SC.8.E.5.1 (Level 2) – Recognize that there are enormous distances between objects in space and apply our knowledge of light and space travel to understand this distance.
SC.8.E.5.2 (Level1) – Recognize that the universe contains many billions of galaxies and that each galaxy contains many billions of stars.
SC.8.E.5.4 (Level 3) – Explore the Law of Universal Gravitation by explaining the role that gravity plays in the formation of planets, stars, and solar systems and in determining their motions.
SC.8.P.8.2 (Level 2) – Differentiate between weight and mass recognizing that weight is the amount of gravitational pull on an object and is distinct from, though proportional to, mass.
SC.8.E.5.5 (Level 2) – Describe and classify specific physical properties of stars: apparent magnitude (brightness), temperature (color), size, and luminosity (absolute brightness).
SC.8.E.5.10 (Level 3) – Assess how technology is essential to science for such purposes as access to outer space and other remote locations, sample collection, measurement, data collection and storage, computation, and communication of information.
SC.8.E.5.6 (Level 1) – Create models of solar properties including: rotation, structure of the Sun, convection, sunspots, solar flares, and prominences.
SC.8.N.3.1 (Level 3) – Select models useful in relating the results of their own investigations.
Advanced:
SC.912.E.5.4 – Explain the physical properties of the Sun and its dynamic nature and connect them to conditions and events on Earth.
