Learning Objectives
♣ Students can develop and use a model to describe the role of
gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system. Emphasis for
the model is on gravity as the force that holds together the solar system
and Milky Way galaxy and controls orbital motions within them. Examples
of models can be physical (such as the analogy of distance along a
football field or computer visualizations of elliptical orbits) or conceptual
(such as mathematical proportions relative to the size of familiar objects
such as their school or state). (MS-ESS1-2)
♣ Students can attain to higher-level thinking about themselves
in discovering the unique life-sustaining character of the Earth, and of the
human dimension and the importance of caring about the health of our
physical environment. (Fink, /picassos-three-musicians--finks-taxonomy-of-significant-learning.html)
