observe objects in the sky using tools such as a telescope and compare how objects in the sky are more visible and can appear different with a tool than with an unaided eye.
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.”
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
observe, describe, and illustrate the Sun, Moon, stars, and objects in the sky such as clouds.

It is important to consider how changes in scale, proportion, or quantity affect a system’s structure or performance. Scale refers to the size of an object in relation to another object or its environment. Proportion is the ratio of one quantity to another. Quantity is a count of a set of objects or a measurement of a substance. It is important to note that in kindergarten – grade 2, students will only describe objects in terms of size (scale) and quantity.
A telescope has a magnification (scale), for example, 10x or 40x, that makes objects appear bigger or closer to their actual size and distance.
A system is a whole made of parts that work together. It has components and boundaries. It can interact with or be part of other systems.
The parts of a telescope or other tool (system) work together to change how objects appear.
