MS-ESS1-3 Scale and Properties of the Solar System
“students will analyze and interpret data to determine scale properties of objects in the solar system”.
- Calculate It – The students are given data on the planets and must calculate this in order to compare it to Earth.
- Graph It – the students are given data on the planets which they then graph.
- Read It – the students read about the famous Rosetta mission to land on a comet and answer questions on the text in the record sheet.
- Infer It – students are shown a sheet showing pictures of the planets. The questions on the sheet will ask them to make inferences from these pictures/descriptions.
- Identify It – This station has two pages, one describing various solar system objects and the second page showing images of solar system objects. Students must identify the objects from the description and from the images.
- Write It – Students read and summarize the advances in solar system science made possible by improved engineering and advances in science.
