summer, people on Earth face one direction in space. On a winter night, they face the other As Earth orbits the Sun, the dipper direction. So, they see different constellations. From Earth, all the stars seem to surround Earth like a big ball. But some of the stars are closer to Earth, while others are much farther away.
Tuning Forks and Sound Purpose To observe the effect of sound on objects by using sight and touch Process Skills Observe, collect data, interpret data, draw conclusions Background Sound is a type of energy that allows us to hear. Sound is made when an object vibrates, or moves back and forth very quickly.
different electromagnets can pick up. You will change two variables to make different electromagnets: the number of wire coils around the nail (10 or 20) and the number of D cell batteries (1 or 2). With your group, discuss what you think will happen. For each variable, predict which electromagnet will pick up more staples and why.
the discovery process. To that end, Standards 1, 2, 6, and 7 incorporate in the Physical Setting/Earth Science Core Curriculum a student-centered, problem-solving approach to Earth Science. The following is a sample of Earth Science process skills.

tions between Earth’s core, magnetic field, mantle, and surface and to investigate why Earth differs from other planets, or how it may change in the future. 5. Why does Earth have plate tectonics and continents? A major focus of Earth science has been on deciphering the nature of the continents—the features
The Science Standards of Learning for Virginia Public Schools identify academic content for essential components of the science curriculum at different grade levels. Standards are identified for kindergarten through grade five, for middle school, and for a core set of high school courses — Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
The New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Science (NJSLS-S) describe the expectations for what students should know and be able to do as well as promote three-dimensional science instruction across the three science domains (i.e., physic al sciences, life science, Earth and space sciences). From the earliest grades, the expectation is
*The performance expectations marked with an asterisk integrate traditional science content with engineering through a Practice or Disciplinary Core Idea. The section entitled “Disciplinary Core Ideas” is reproduced verbatim from A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Cross-Cutting Concepts, and Core Ideas.
