SC.8.E.5.3: Distinguish the hierarchical relationships between planets and other astronomical bodies relative to solar system, galaxy, and universe, including distance, size, and composition. (Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning) Use a scale model of the universe to develop a plan for space travel including specific limitations of space travel. (Scaleoftheuniverse.com) Create a scale model of the solar system and relate the scale to galaxies and the university. Use a graphic organizer to distinguish astronomical bodies in the universe based on relative distance, relative size, and general composition SC.8.E.5.5: Describe and classify specific physical properties of stars: apparent magnitude (brightness), temperature (color), size, and luminosity (absolute brightness).(Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts) Analyze the pictorial display of data of the HR diagram to compare patterns of similarities of physical properties of stars. Use mathematical representations (data) of physical properties of stars and plot the data to develop an HR diagram. Use a visual HR model to identify the physical properties of different stars: apparent magnitude, temperature (color), size, and absolute brightness. SC.8.E.5.7: Compare and contrast the properties of objects in the Solar System including the Sun, planets, and moons to those of Earth, such as gravitational force, distance from the Sun, speed, movement, temperature, and atmospheric conditions. (Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts) Based on characteristics of objects in the Solar System such as gravitational force, distance from the Sun, speed, movement, temperature, and atmospheric conditions, explain why other astronomical bodies cannot support life. Develop and use a model to compare and contrast the characteristics of objects in the Solar System such as gravitational force, distance from the Sun, speed, movement, temperature, and atmospheric conditions. Develop a model of the Solar System and use the model to describe the differences in temperature, size, gravitational pull, distances, and atmospheric compositions of objects in the solar system.
