Subject: Earth Science Grade: 10 Time Frame to Complete Unit:2 weeks (Sept. 9th – Nov 20th) (25 periods) Unit: Maps and Measurements (Introduction to Earth Science; Earth as a system; Models of the Earth) Teacher: Mr. Bertin CCLS NYS Scope and Sequence: ELA/Literacy: RST.9-10.1: Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of lab exercise. WHST.9-10.2: Write informative/explanatory texts, involving the presentation of scientific procedures/experiments processes. WHST.9-10.9: Draw evidence from informational texts to support analysis and reflection. Mathematics HSN.Q.A.1: Use units as a way to understand problems and to guide the solution of multistep problems; choose and interpret units consistently in formulas; choose and interpret the scale and the origin in graphs and data displays. HSN.Q.A.2: Define appropriate quantities for the purpose of descriptive modeling and graph reading and interpretation. Section/Objectives: Section 1 Science Time: 2 sessions 1. Define science and Earth Science 2. Identify the four branches of Earth Science. Section 2 Galaxies and the Universe Time: 3 sessions 1. Describe evidence that supports the Big Bang theory. 2. Identify the three main types of galaxies. 3. List several characteristics of the Milky Way Galaxy. Section 3 Radiation from space Time: 2 sessions 1. Explain the electromagnetic spectrum. Section 4 Stars and the Evolution of Stars Time: 3 sessions 1. Describe how stars are classified? 2. Explain how the temperature of a star relates to its color. 3. Describe how a star evolves. 4. Explain why the Sun is considered an average star in relation to other stars. Section 5 The Solar System Time: 2 sessions 1. Compare the Sun-centered and Earth-centered models of the solar system. 2. Describe current models of the formation of the solar system. Section 6 The Inner and Outer planets Time: 3 sessions 1. List planets in their relative order from the Sun. 2. Describe important characteristics of planets. Section 7 Other Objects in the Solar System Time: 3 sessions 1. Describe where comets come from and how a comet develops as it approaches the Sun. 2. Distinguish among comets and asteroids. Section 8 Maps Time: 2 sessions 1. Define latitude and longitude. 2. Explain how latitude and Longitude are used to identify locations on Earth. 3. Determine the time and date in different time zones. 4. Describe features of topographic maps. Standards to be addressed: Analyzation of technical writing, graphs, charts, and diagrams. Use observations and data as evidence on which to base scientific explanations. Drawing logical conclusions; interpreting data; collecting data and concept mapping. Desired Results Students will understand: Students will know: . Students will be able to: Explain how observed redshift in far away stars provides evidence for the expansion of the universe and the Big Bang. Explain the how uniform cosmic background radiation evidence for the Big Bang. Describe how our solar system was formed through accretion due to gravity. Provide evidence that the force of gravity is dependent on the mass and distance between objects. Identify patterns from solar system data State two evidence for the expansion of the universe. Interpret latitude and longitude Read and Interpret features on a topographic maps. Draw landform profiles. Essential Questions: 1. How can celestial observations explain natural phenomena? MATERIALS FOR LESSON PLANNING Vocabulary: 1. electromagnetic spectrum 2. Spectroscopy 3. Doppler effect 4. Continuous spectrum 5. Nuclear fusion 6. Main-sequence star 7. Nova 8. Nebulae 9. Supergaint Red gaints 11. Red shift 12. Blue shift Aims: How do we: What can scientists learn about a star by studying its spectrum? How can astronomers determine whether a star is moving towards or away from earth? What are the stages of star evolution? Labs:*State Exam Lab Lab 1-1: Safety………………………………………………………………….
