Standard(s) being addressed: SC.3.E.5.1 : Explain that stars can be different; some are smaller, some are larger, and some appear brighter than others; all except the Sun are so far away that they look like points of light. LEVEL 3 SC.3.E.5.2: Identify the Sun as a star that emits energy; some of it in the form of light. LEVEL 2 SC.3.E.5.3 : Recognize that the Sun appears large and bright because it is the closest star to Earth. LEVEL 3 SC.3.E.5.4: Explore the Law of Gravity by demonstrating that gravity is a force that can be overcome. LEVEL 3 SC.3.E.5.5: Investigate that the number of stars that can be seen through telescopes is dramatically greater than those seen by the unaided eye. LEVEL 2 SC.3.N.3.2: Recognize that scientists use models to help understand and explain how things work. LEVEL 1 SC.3.E.6.1 : I can demonstrate that radiant energy from the Sun can heat objects and explain why heat may be lost from objects when the Sun is not present Level 4 Expert Level 3 Meeting the Goal Level 2 Almost There Level 1 Getting Started Level 0 Not on the Bike I meet level 1, 2, and 3 and can… Create a model of the solar system that includes the Earth, Sun and stars I meet level 1 and 2 and can… Compare the number of stars I see using a telescope to the number I can see by the unaided eye Conclude why stars can be different (smaller, larger, brighter) and why they look like points of light Explain why the Sun appears large and bright Identify the Sun as a star and describe the energy given off (light, heat, and radiant energy) Recognize why scientists use models to understand and explain how things work Demonstrate how the Sun’s radiant energy affects objects (include heating and heat loss) Explore the Law of Gravity by demonstrating that gravity is a force that can be overcome. I know the meaning of… Star Size Distance Emits Energy Radiant Sun Telescope Model (3-D, 2-D) Approximate With help, I can… choose from pictures the tool that helps me see stars identify stars in the sky identify a 2-D model and a 3-D model I understand… Stars are in outer space I can… Describe the tool that helps me see stars Describe stars in the sky and differentiate between their different sizes and brightness Identify the closest star to the Earth Identify the Sun and recognize it as a star Recognize tools scientists use to help investigate how things work Model gravity by dropping an object.
