8 Science Curriculum Map Strand: Earth and Space Unit: Space Six Weeks: 3rd 6 Weeks Time Frame: ____4 Weeks___ TEKS: 8.7 Earth and space. The student knows the effects resulting from cyclical movements of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. The student is expected to: (A) model and illustrate how the tilted Earth rotates on its axis, causing day and night, and revolves around the Sun causing changes in seasons; (B) demonstrate and predict the sequence of events in the lunar cycle; and (C) relate position of the Moon and Sun to their effect on ocean tides. 8.8 Earth and space. The student knows characteristics of the universe. The student is expected to: (A) describe components of the universe, including stars, nebulae, and galaxies, and use models such as the Herztsprung-Russell diagram for classification; (B) recognize that the Sun is a medium-sized star near the edge of a disc-shaped galaxy of stars and that the Sun is many thousands of times closer to Earth than any other star; (C) explore how different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum such as light and radio waves are used to gain information about distances and properties of components in the universe; (D) model and describe how light years are used to measure distances and sizes in the universe; and (E) research how scientific data are used as evidence to develop scientific theories to describe the origin of the universe. Enduring Understanding(s): The rotation, position and tilt of the earth produce the night-and-day cycle and changes in seasons. The moon is a part of the Earth – Moon – Sun system that goes through cycles and has a gravitational affect on Earth Scientists are using various types of data to develop theories explaining the origin of the Universe and these theories advance as technology advances Essential Questions: What are some misconceptions of the causes of seasons? Create a diagram showing the sun, moon and earth relationship during each of the four main moon phases including when spring and neap tides occur. Describe how Scientist use evidence from waves to justify theories of the origin of the universe. Demonstrate why light years are used to measure distances in the universe. Using the H-R Diagram classify stars in the universe. Critical Vocabulary: Word Wall click here.
