This document was generated on CPALMS - www.cpalms.org
Relate the history of and explain the justification for future space exploration and continuing
technology development.
Subject Area: Science
Grade: 912
Body of Knowledge: Earth and Space Science
Standard: Earth in Space and Time - The origin and eventual fate of the Universe still remains one
of the greatest questions in science. Gravity and energy influence the development and life cycles of
galaxies, including our own Milky Way Galaxy, stars, the planetary systems, Earth, and residual
material left from the formation of the Solar System. Humankind’s need to explore continues to lead
to the development of knowledge and understanding of the nature of the Universe.
Date Adopted or Revised: 02/08

Information
Date of Last Rating: 05/08
Status: State Board Approved
Remarks/Examples
Identify examples of historical space exploration (e.g. telescopes, high altitude balloons, lunar
landers, deep-space probes, space station) that had significant impact on current space exploration
and recognize the importance of continued exploration in space.

This informational text resource is intended to support reading in
the content area. In this essay found on NASA's Kepler webpage,
Jill Tarter, the Director of Research for the Center for the Search
for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), describes the history of
SETI's work.
This informational text resource is intended to support reading in
the academic content areas. It is most appropriate for 9th-10th
grade students enrolled in a U.S. History or an Earth/Space Science
class.
This is an interview of Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin, one of the
first men to walk on the moon. In a question/answer format, Aldrin
answers questions about his ambitious vision for the future of
American space exploration, and he also reflects on the past and
present of the U.S. space program.

This informational text resource is intended to support reading in
the content area. This article describes scientists' discovery of the
oldest habitable exoplanet that has been discovered. This planet
formed outside our Milky Way and is about 11.5 billion years old.
The planet looks like it could support water, has a rocky terrain,
and is about five times bigger than Earth. Its proximity to its red
dwarf star has led scientists to believe it could have supported life
at one time.
The 2012 Report of the Kennedy Space Center includes significant
events, engineering achievements, partnerships, environmental
work, education work, and outreach. In addition, the final section
includes the economic impact and work force diversity.
This informational text resource is intended to support reading in
the content area. The article describes the methods scientists have
used to discover a large range of planets that exist outside of our
solar system. It then details how the technology and techniques
involved in planetary identification have evolved to become more
efficient. The article also explains that scientists are constantly
looking for planets in a "Goldilocks Zone" that could contain liquid
water, and therefore sustain life.
This informational text resource is intended to support reading in
