| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | SC-04-2.3.4 | Earth-Sun system by interpreting a variety of representations/models (e.g., diagrams, sundials, distance of sun above horizon) of the sunês apparent movement in the sk |
| 4 | SC-04-4.6.2a | analyze data/evidence of the Sun providing light and heat to earth; |
| 4 | SC-04-4.6.2b | use data/evidence to substantiate the conclusion that the Sunês light and heat are necessary to sustaining life on Earth. |
| 4 | SC-04-4.6.2c | Simple observations, experiments and data collection begin to reveal that the Sun provides the light and heat necessary to maintain the temperature of Earth. |
| 4 | SC-04-4.6.2d | Evidence collected and analyzed should be used to substantiate the conclusion that the sunês light and heat are necessary to sustain life on Earth. |
| 4 | SC-4-ET-U-2 | light and heat from the sun are essential to sustaining most life on earth. Plants change energy from the sunês light into energy that is used as food by the plant. |
| 5 | SC-05-2.3.5a | compare components of our solar system, |
| 5 | SC-05-2.3.5b | Earth is the third planet from the Sun in a system that includes the moon, the Sun, eight other planets and their moons, and smaller objects. |
| 5 | SC-05-2.3.5c | The Sun, an average star, is the central and largest body in the solar system. |
| 5 | SC-05-4.6.2 | the Sun is a major source of energy for changes on Earthês surface. The Sun loses energy by emitting light. A tiny fraction of that light reaches Earth, transferring energy from the Sun to Earth. |
| 5 | SC-5-ET-S-2 | describe solar energy and how it impacts physical and biological systems on Earth |
| 5 | SC-5-ET-U-2 | energy from the sun flows through space to reach the earth. Solar energy provides the driving force for many of the changes that happen on the Earthês surface. |
| 5 | SC-5-EU-S-6 | compare the major components of our solar system |
| Primary | SC-EP-4.6.2 | describe evidence of the sun providing light and heat to the Earth. Simple observations and investigations begin to reveal that the Sun provides the light and heat necessary to maintain the temperature of Earth. Based on those experiences, t |
| Primary | SC-P-ET-S-4 | sun provides light and heat to the Earth |
| Primary | SC-P-ET-U-3 | the sun warms the air, land and water, and lights the Earth. |
