Integrated Science – Spring 2008 Ms. Webb & Ms. Longsdorf Astronomy Learning Goals (Standard 4) 1. I can describe the differences between the relative sizes of various bodies in space (planetary systems, stars, star clusters, galaxies). 2. I can recall that the universe is made up of interacting bodies (planets, stars, etc.) that behave in a predictable way. 3. I can recall that our solar system is a star system and one of many other star systems in the universe. 4. I can list the types of galaxies (especially our galaxy!) and an example of each. 5. I can describe how the solar system was formed. 6. I can describe planet types and give examples. 7. I can describe what a habitable zone is. 8. I can explain the Big Bang theory and the evidence for this theory. 9. I can recall that the Big Bang theory is the most scientifically accepted theory to explain the formation of the Universe. 10. I can describe the life cycle of a star. 11. I can recall that the formation of elements comes from the life cycle of a star. 12. I can compare how stars evolved based on their mass (examples black hole, neutron star and white dwarf). 13. I can recall why the length of a star’s life depends on its mass. 14. I can recall that parallax and the inverse square law are used to determine distance of stars and galaxies. 15. I can recall when the best times to take parallax data are. 16. I can describe how telescopes on Earth and in space are used to expand our knowledge of the universe AND the difference between these two types. 17. I can explain the history of stars in terms of their luminosity, size and temperature. 18. I can compare the age, temperature and size of our Sun to other stars. 19. I can list the main ways that the Sun influences the Earth (the role of gravity, coronal mass ejections, and electromagnetic radiation). 20. I can define solar flare, solar radiation and solar wind. 21. I can recall that spectroscopy is used to determine the composition of stars. 22. I can describe the relationship between satellite placement and its purpose. 23. I can explain why satellites are important. 24. I can discuss the purpose of space probes.
