Using your scholarly knowledge background, flesh out your ideas for a full 5E lesson plan. You will not necessarily be teaching this lesson so it is ok to write a lesson for materials you don’t have and a longer time frame than you will have in the classroom this semester (i.e. you could write a lesson that would take 5 class periods). Be sure to use the guiding question version(attached) to help in your planning and the clean template for your actual plan.
Your standards will be:
Science SC2015 (2015) Grade: 6 (Earth and Space Science )Develop and use models to determine scale properties of objects in the solar system (e.g., scale model representing sizes and distances of the sun, Earth, moon system based on a one-meter diameter sun).
Students who demonstrate understanding can:
MS-ESS1-2. Develop and use a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system. [Clarification Statement: 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 students’ school or state).] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include Kepler’s Laws of orbital motion or the apparent retrograde motion of the planets as viewed from Earth.]
