Solar System Show Standards Alignment

Ohio Standards:

5: ESS: The solar system includes the sun and all celestial bodies that orbit the sun.
5: ESS: The sun is one of many stars that exist in the universe.
5: ESS: Most of the cycles and patterns of motion between the Earth and sun are predictable.
7: ESS: The relative patterns of motion and positions of the Earth, moon and sun cause solar and lunar eclipses, tides and phases of the moon.

Next Generation Standards:

5-ESS2-1 Support an argument that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed down.
5-ESS1-1 Support an argument that differences in the apparent brightness of the sun compared to other stars is due to their relative distances from the Earth.
5-ESS1-2 Represent data in graphical displays to reveal patterns of daily changes in length and direction of shadows, day and night, and the seasonal appearance of some stars in the night sky.
MS-ESS1: Develop and use a model of the Earth-sun-moon system to describe the cyclic patterns of lunar phases, eclipses of the sun and moon, and seasons.
MS-ESS2: Develop and use a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system.
MS-ESS-3Analyze and interpret data to determine scale properties of objects in the solar system.

Cells, Cells, Cells Show Standards Alignment

Ohio Standards:

6: LS: Cells are the fundamental unit of life.
6: LS: All cells come from pre-existing cells.
6: LS: Cells carry on specific functions that sustain life.
6: LS: Living systems at all levels of organization demonstrate the complementary nature of structure and function.
8: LS: Reproduction is necessary for the continuation of every species.
8: LS: The characteristics of an organism are a result of inherited traits received from parent(s).

Next Generation Standards:

MS-LS1-1. Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many different numbers and types of cells.
MS-LS1-2. Develop and use a model to describe the function of a cell as a whole and ways parts of cells contribute to the function.
MS-LS1-3. Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells.
MS-LS1-5. Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms.
MS-LS1-8. Gather and synthesize information that sensory receptors respond to stimuli by sending messages to the brain for immediate behavior or storage as memories.
MS-LS3-2. Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation.
