EARTH & SPACE SCIENCEQ&A By: Tyler J. Smith
ESS1 The Earth and Earth materials, as we know them today, have developed over long periods of time, through constant change processes.
S:ESS1:4:1.1 • Q Explain how water exists in the atmosphere in different forms and describe how it changes from one form to another through various processes such as freezing, condensation, precipitation and evaporation. • Link http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/watercycle.html
S:ESS1:4:1.2 • Q Explain that air surrounds the Earth, it takes up space, and it moves around as wind. • Link http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/earth/atmosphere.html
S:ESS1:4:1.3 • Q Based on data collected from daily weather observations, describe weather changes or weather patterns. • Link http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/earth/climate/cli_define.html
S:ESS1:4:1.4 • Q Explain how the use of scientific tools helps to extend senses and gather data about weather (i.e., weather/wind vane– direction; wind sock– wind intensity; anemometer– speed; thermometer– temperature; meter sticks/rulers– snow depth; rain gauges– rain amount in inches). • Link http://www.doe.mass.edu/frameworks/scitech/2001/standards/es3_5.html
S:ESS1:4:2.1 • Q Describe Earth materials such as gases found in the atmosphere, rocks, soils, and water in its liquid and solid states. • Link http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.epa.gov/apti/course422/images/fig-1.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.epa.gov/apti/course422/ap1.html&h=290&w=195&sz=11&hl=en&start=5&tbnid=AbvxdX-oOSy3SM:&tbnh=115&tbnw=77&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dlayers%2Bin%2Bthe%2Batmosphere%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den
S:ESS1:4:2.2 • Q Describe rock as being composed of different combinations of minerals. • Link http://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/content/investigations/es0602/es0602page02.cfm
S:ESS1:4:2.3 • Q Given information about Earth materials, explain how their characteristics lend themselves to specific uses. • Link
S:ESS1:4:2.4 • Q Given certain Earth materials (soils, rocks, or minerals) use physical properties to sort, classify, and/or describe them. • Link http://www.geoscape.nrcan.gc.ca/fortfraser/earth_e.php
ESS2 The Earth is part of a solar system, made up of distinct parts, which have temporal and spatial interrelationships.
S:ESS2:4:1.1 • Q Explain that night and day are caused by the Earth’s rotation on its axis; and that the Earth rotates approximately once, every 24 hours. • Link http://www.amnh.org/education/resources/rfl/web/antarctica/s_cycles.html
S:ESS2:4:1.2 • Q Describe the Sun as a star. • Link http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/primer/primer.html
S:ESS2:4:2.1 • Q Recognize that the Sun provides the light and heat necessary to maintain the temperature of the Earth • Link http://www.utm.edu/departments/cece/old_site/eighth.shtml
S:ESS2:4:3.1 • Q Recognize that the Moon orbits the Earth. • Link http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2002/20sep_mysteryobject.htm
S:ESS2:4:3.2 • Q Recognize that the Earth is one of a number of planets that orbit the Sun. • Link http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=481
S:ESS2:4:4.1 • Q Recognize that although star patterns seen in the sky appear to move slowly each night from east to west they actually remain the same, and explain why different stars can be seen during different seasons. • Link http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=481
S:ESS2:4:4.2 • Q Explain why the planets look like stars, and why, over a period of time, they appear to wander among the constellations. • Link http://www.hopkins.k12.mn.us/pages/high/courses/online/astro/course_documents/the_night_sky/constellations.htm
ESS3 The origin and evolution of galaxies and the universe demonstrate fundamental principles of physical science across vast distances and time.
S:ESS3:4:1.1 • Q Recognize that astronomical objects in space are massive in size and are separated from one another by vast distances. • Link http://www.sas.upenn.edu/sasalum/newsltr/fall2001/glitter.html
S:ESS3:4:1.2 • Q Explain that telescopes magnify the size of distant objects and significantly increase the number of these objects that can be viewed from Earth. • Link http://www.imaging.org/resources/web_tutorials/telescope/telescope.cfm
S:ESS3:4:2.1 • Q Recognize and describe the stars, like the Sun, as spherical in nature. • Link http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/the_universe/Stars.html
S:ESS3:4:2.2 • Q Recognize that stars come in different colors, and that the Sun is a yellow star. • Link http://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/briefs/kiang_01/
ESS4 The growth of scientific knowledge in Earth Space Science has been advanced through the development of technology and is used (alone or in combination with other sciences) to identify, understand and solve local and global issues.
S:ESS4:4:1.1 • Q Recognize that man uses various mechanical devices to record changes in the weather and the Earth. • Link http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=10394&page=1
