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.
identify the order of the planets in Earth's solar system in relation to the Sun.
Patterns are regular sequences that can be found throughout nature.
Celestial bodies have orbital patterns. Additionally, similarities in physical properties (patterns) allow planets to be classified as inner or outer planets.
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.
Planets can be compared with each other and the Sun (scale) by size and distance (quantity).
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 movement of each celestial body (parts) within the Solar System is dependent upon its proximity to other celestial bodies. For example, each moon in the Solar System revolves around a specific planet.
