electromagnetic spectrum provides about the
stars and the universe (e.g., chemical
composition, temperature, age of stars,
location of black holes, motion of celestial
bodies)
STRAND 7C, 8.1B
Concept C: Most of the information we know
about the universe comes from the
electromagnetic spectrum
6.1.C.b Evaluate the
advantages/disadvantages of using different
tools (e.g., spectroscope, different types of
telescopes, probes) to gather information
about the universe (e.g., background radiation,
magnetic fields, discovery of previously
unknown celestial bodies)
STRAND 7B, 7E, 8.1B, 8.1C, 8.2B
Concept B: The Earth has a composition and
location suitable to sustain life
6.1.B.a & b Explain how Earth’s
environmental characteristics and location in
the universe (e.g., atmosphere, temperature,
orbital path, magnetic field, mass-gravity,
location in solar system) provide a lifesupporting
environment Compare the
environmental characteristics and location in
the universe of Earth and other celestial
bodies (e.g., planets, moons) to determine
ability to support life.

that relates to the ages of the stars, black holes, and
the locations.
(1.4, 3.5)
Research and list the advantages and disadvantages
of different types of tools used to gather information
about the universe.
(2.3, 2.4)
Compare Venus and Mars to Earth. Proof of water
on each planet, atmosphere, distance from Sun.
(2.3, 2.4)
Students will use groups (jigsaw) to have
various groups present a part of the
information to the class.
Students will pick one of the nine planets.
And report on why life can or can not be
supported..
