MS-ESS1-3 2014
Analyze and interpret data to determine scale properties of objects in the solar system. [Clarification Statement:
Emphasis is on the analysis of data from Earth-based instruments, space-based telescopes, and spacecraft to determine
similarities and differences among solar system objects. Examples of scale properties include the sizes of an object’s layers
(such as crust and atmosphere), surface features (such as volcanoes), and orbital radius. Examples of data include statistical
information, drawings and photographs, and models.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include recalling facts
about properties of the planets and other solar system bodies.]
MS-ESS1-3:
Essential Questions
How different are other planets
form earth?
What are the similarities and
differences between the planets?
Enduring Understandings
Students will understand that planets
share similarities and differences, from
atmospheric content to geographical
formations, to size.
Labs, Investigation, and Student Experiences
Student Experience: Students will be broken into a group and will research a
individual planet using textual evidence, internet, and develop a poster
board/PowerPoint. Once the students present their finding and pictures of
planets using poster boards/PowerPoint etc. Students will have comprehend
the information given verbally and visually and begin to organize the planets
into groups and explain their similarities.
