Fourth Grade Science: Earth in the Universe Science Essential Standards First Quarter Second Quarter Third Quarter Fourth Quarter Properties of Matter: Rocks, Minerals, and Fossils Ecosystems: Animal Survival & Adaptations Forces & Motion: Magnetism Light & Forms of Energy Earth/Moon/Sun System Nutrition and Exercise Unpacking the Science Essential Standards Earth Science Earth in the Universe 4.E.1 Explain the causes of day and night and phases of the moon. Science Essential Standards 4.E.1 Explain the causes of day and night and phases of the moon. 4.E.1.1 Explain the cause of day and night based on the rotation of Earth on its axis. 4.E.1.2 Explain the monthly changes in the appearance of the moon, based on the moon’s orbit around the Earth. Earth in the Universe st 1 • 1.E.1 Recognize the features and patterns of the earth/moon/sun system as observed from Earth. • 1.E.1.1 Recognize differences in the features of the day and night sky and apparent movement of objects across the sky as observed from Earth. • 1.E.1.2 Recognize patterns of observable changes in the Moon’s appearance from day to day. rd 3 • 3.E.1 Recognize the major components and patterns observed in the earth/moon/sun system. • 3.E.1.1 Recognize that the earth is part of a system called the solar system that includes the sun (a star), planets, and many moons and the earth is the third planet from the sun in our solar system. • 3.E.1.2 Recognize the changes in the length and direction of an object’s shadow indicate the apparent changing position of the Sun during the day although the patterns of the stars in the sky, to include the Sun ,stay the same. th 4 • 4.E.1 Explain the causes of day and night and phases of the moon. • 4.E.1.1 Explain the cause of day and night based on the rotation of Earth on its axis. • 4.E.1.2 Explain the monthly changes in the appearance of the moon, based on the moon’s orbit around the Earth. Exploring the Standards • Explore the model of the Earth to test different ideas about what causes day and night • Explore the model of the moon to test different ideas about what causes the moon phases Day and Night 4.E.1.1 Explain the cause of day and night based on the rotation of Earth on its axis. Students know that the Earth rotates on an axis and that this rotation causes one side of our planet to receive light rays from the sun while the other side is in darkness (day/night). This rotation occurs over a 24-hour period. Exploring Space • Model how the moon travels in space • Include the sun, moon, and earth • Describe the role and placement of each The Moon • Earth orbits the sun the Sun every year • Moon revolves around the Earth every month, every 29 ½ days • Moon’s orbit is slightly tilted and not in a straight alignment with Earth • Half of the moon is illuminated by the sun • The moon’s phase depends on how much illumination is visible from Earth Phases of the Moon • Lunar cycle moves from the new moon phase (completely invisible) to full moon and back to new again • Waxing: moon moves from new to full • Waning: moon moves back to new moon Phases of the Moon Phases of the Moon Phases of the Moon The Moon Video: Phases of the Moon http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=nXseTWTZlks • Moon Observations • Do You Know This About the Moon?
