S6E1. Gather, evaluate, and communicate information about current scientific ideas of the universe and how those ideas have changed.
A. Ask questions to determine changes in models of Earth’s position in the solar system, and origins of the universe to show that scientific theories change with the addition of new information. In other words, what people to change their ideas about the Earth’s position in geocentric and heliocentric models and how did the idea of the Big Bang as it describes the formation of the universe come about? Items 1-16
B. Students should develop a model to represent the position of the solar system in the Milky Way galaxy and in the known universe. Items 17-25
C. Analyze and interpret data to compare and contrast the planets in our solar system in terms of:
**size relative to Earth **surface and atmospheric features
**relative distance from the sun **ability to support life. Items 26-41
D. Develop and use a model to explain the interaction of gravity and inertia that governs the motion of objects in the solar system. Items 48-55
E. Ask questions to compare and contrast the characteristics, composition, and location of comets, asteroids, and meteoroids. Items 42-47
What is the difference between the two models of the solar system and why did people change their ideas about the Earth’s position in geocentric and heliocentric models. Explain the Big Bang as it describes the formation of the universe and what evidence do we have that it is valid? |
