Earth and space. The student understands the causes and effects of plate tectonics. The student is expected to:
A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”
construct models and explain the orbits of the Sun, Earth, and Moon in relation to each other; and
S.4.9.B
collect and analyze data to identify sequences and predict patterns of change in the observable appearance of the Moon from Earth.
S.6.9.B
describe and predict how the positions of the Earth, Sun, and Moon cause daily, spring, and neap cycles of ocean tides due to gravitational forces.
S.7.10
Earth and space. The student understands the causes and effects of plate tectonics. The student is expected to:
ASTRO.8.A
model how the orbit and relative position of the Moon cause lunar phases and predict the timing of moonrise and moonset during each phase;
ASTRO.8.B
model how the orbit and relative position of the Moon cause lunar and solar eclipses; and
ASTRO.8.C
examine and investigate the dynamics of tides using the Sun, Earth, and Moon model.
ASTRO.9.C
investigate the relationship between a planet's axial tilt, angle of incidence of sunlight, and concentration of solar energy; and
ASTRO.11.D
compare the factors essential to life on Earth such as temperature, water, gases, and gravitational and magnetic fields to conditions on other planets and their satellites.
