MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS District Pacing Guide M/J COMPREHENSIVE SCIENCE 3 BODY OF KNOWLEDGE: E. Earth and Space Science TOPIC IX: Objects in the Universe ESSENTIAL CONTENT OBJECTIVES Identify astronomical bodies as planets, stars, moons, asteroids, nebulae, galaxies, dwarf planets, and comets only. Compare and contrast the relative distance, relative size, and general composition of astronomical bodies in the universe. Describe distances between objects in space in the context of light and space travel. Describe that the universe contains billions of galaxies and B. Distances in Space stars. 1. Light Year and AU Describe distances astronomical units (AU) or light-years. 2. Relative Distances of Objects in Space Compare and/or contrast the forces of gravity that form 3. Using Technology to Study Space stars and solar systems. 4. Applications to light and space travel Describe the relationship among distance, mass, and gravitational force between any two objects. C. Law of Universal Gravitation and the Formation Explain the importance of technology in collecting of Stars information about the Universe, but not specific technology. 1. Gravity Forms Stars, Solar Systems, and (as in telescopes and probes) Planets 2. Relationship between Mass and Gravity (Force acting at a distance) A. Objects in Space 1. Galaxies and nebulae 2. Planets, Stars, and moons 3. Asteroids, dwarf planets, and comets 4. Hierarchical relationships a. size b. distance c. composition Division of Academics – Department of Science Second Nine Weeks Course Code: 200210001 Pacing Date(s) Traditional 18 Days 12-23-16 to 02-02-17 Block 9 Days 12-23-16 to 02-02-17 INSTRUCTIONAL TOOLS Core Text Book: Pearson Interactive Science Florida Ch. 3.1 - 3.5 Vocabulary: Scientific Theory, Scientific Model, Nebula, Light-year, Empirical Evidence, Dwarf Planet, Astronomical Unit, relative distance, star, moon, asteroid, comet, electromagnetic spectrum, universe, galaxy, solar system Technology: 1.
