1. “I Can” Study Guide Unit 2-3
1. I can identify 8 Planets in the solar system and organize them into two distinct groups
2. I can place the planets in order of distance from the sun, their size / mass, and their discovery
3. I can compare the physical structure of planets and moons (Density, Shape, Chemistry, etc..)
4. I can describe the conditions present on planets and moons (Weather, Temp., Geo. Activity, etc..)
5. I can recall the behavior of planets in terms of rotation and revolution
6. I can estimate the significant numerical figures used to quantify aspects of planets and moons
7. I can compare the features of other planets to Earth
8. I can match major moons to their respective planets and other objects to specific regions in space
9. I can explain historical models of the solar system with their significance and evolution over time
10. I can use the terminology used to describe both celestial bodies and the space in between them
11. I can summarize the origin of the Earth’s moon and elaborate on its structure
12. I can model the process of lunar: phases, rotation, revolution and eclipses
13. I can predict moon phases and tides in terms of space, time, and their effects
14. I can describe how and why seasons occur on our planet and variance due to location and tilt
15. I can contrast the concepts of weight and mass in terms of gravity and provide examples
16. I can explain the factors at play in the creation and preservation of impact craters, with examples
17. I can appreciate the significance of very large distances, sizes and amounts of time
