Standard 1 Objectives 1 and 2 Workbook
 In this Workbook you will create a Student Page that will describe
each indicator (a, b, c, etc.) in Standard 1 Objectives 1 and 2 outlined
in the Utah State Core for Astronomy.
 Use the textbooks and the Utah State core to complete your
Standard 1 Objectives 1 and 2 Workbook.
 Your Workbook should include the following on each Student
Page:
 Brief explanations and/or definitions of each indicator
 Use the textbooks Glossary and Index at the end of the
textbook to help you find the needed information
 Diagrams for each indicator
 Use colors in your diagrams
 Use labels in your diagrams
 Your Standard 1 Objectives 1 and 2 Workbook will help you
prepare for the end of year 9th Grade Science SAGE Test.

Standard 1: Students will understand the scientific evidence that supports
theories that explain how the universe and the solar system developed. They will
compare Earth to other objects in the solar system.
Objective 1: Describe both the big bang theory of universe formation and the nebular
theory of solar system formation and evidence supporting them.
a. Identify the scientific evidence for the age of the solar system (4.6 billion years),
including Earth (e.g., radioactive decay).
b. Describe the big bang theory and the evidence that supports this theory (e.g., cosmic
background radiation, abundance of elements, distance/redshift relation for galaxies).
c. Describe the nebular theory of solar system formation and the evidence supporting it
(e.g., solar system structure due to gravity, motion and temperature; composition and age
of meteorites; observations of newly forming stars).
d. Explain that heavy elements found on Earth are formed in stars.
e. Investigate and report how science has changed the accepted ideas regarding the nature
of the universe throughout history.
f. Provide an example of how technology has helped scientists investigate the universe.
Objective 2: Analyze Earth as part of the solar system, which is part of the Milky Way
galaxy.
a. Relate the composition of objects in the solar system to their distance from the Sun.
b. Compare the size of the solar system to the Milky Way galaxy.
c. Compare the size and scale of objects within the solar system.
d. Evaluate the conditions that currently support life on Earth (biosphere) and compare
them to the conditions that exist on other planets and moons in the solar system (e.g.,
atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, amounts of incoming solar energy, habitable zone).
