The following are descriptions of the California
Science Content Standards and California Math Content Standards that
are met through the Astro-Venture Astronomy lessons. They are delineated
as follows:

First
Grade |
| CSCS (1) 1a |
Students know solids,
liquids, and gases have different properties. |
| |
|
| |
Third
Grade |
| CSCS (3) 1e |
Students know matter
has three forms: solid, liquid, and gas. |
| |
|
| CSCS (3) 1f |
Students know evaporation and melting
are changes that occur when the objects are heated. |
| |
|
| CSCS (3) 4c |
Students know telescopes magnify
the appearance of some distant objects in sky, including the Moon
and the planets. The number of stars that can be seen through telescopes
is dramatically greater than the number that can be seen by the unaided
eye. |
| |
|
| |
Fourth Grade
|
| CSCS (4) 2 |
Students know all organisms
need energy and matter to live and grow. |
| |
|
| CSCS (4) 3 |
Students know living organisms depend
on one another and on their environment for survival. |
| |
|
| |
Fifth Grade
|
| CSCS (5) 1g |
Students know properties
of solid, liquid, and gaseous substances. |
| |
|
| CSCS (5) 5c |
Students know the path of a planet
around the Sun is due to gravitational attraction between the Sun
and the planet. |
| |
|
| CSCS (5) 6b |
Students will develop a testable
question. |
| |
|
| CSCS (5) 6c |
Students will plan and conduct a
simple investigation based on a student-developed question and write
instructions others can follow to carry out the procedure. |
| |
|
| CSCS (5) 6d |
Students will identify the independent
and controlled variables in an investigation. |
| |
|
| CSCS (5) 6e |
Students will identify a single independent
variable in a scientific investigation and explain how this variable
can be used to collect information to answer a question about the
results of the experiment. |
| |
|
| CSCS (5) 6f |
Students will select appropriate
tools and make quantitative observations. |
| |
|
| CSCS (5) 6g |
Students will record data by using
appropriate graphic representations (including charts, graphs, and
labeled diagrams) and make inferences based on those data. |
| |
|
| CSCS (5) 6h |
Students will draw conclusions from
scientific evidence and indicate whether further information is needed
to support a specific conclusion. |
| |
|
| |
Sixth
Grade |
| CSCS (6) 7a |
Students will develop
hypothesis. |
| |
|
| CSCS (6) 7b |
Students will select and use appropriate
tools and technology (including calculators, computers, balances,
spring scales, microscopes, and binoculars) to perform tests, collect
data, and display data. |
| |
|
| |
Seventh
Grade |
| CSCS (7) 7a |
Students will select
and use appropriate tools and technology (including calculators,
computers, balances, spring scales, microscopes, and binoculars)
to perform tests, collect data, and display data. |
| |
|
| |
Eighth
Grade |
| CSCS (8) 3d |
Students know the states
of matter (solid, liquid, gas) depend on molecular motion. |
| |
|
| CSCS (8) 3e |
Students know that in solids the
atoms are closely locked in position and can only vibrate; in liquids
the atoms and molecules are more loosely connected and can collide
with and move past one another; and in gases the atoms and molecules
are free to move independently, colliding frequently. |
| |
|
| CSCS (8) 4b |
Students know that the Sun is one
of many stars in the Milky Way galaxy and that stars may differ in
size, temperature, and color. |
| |
|
| CSCS (8) 9a |
Students will plan and conduct a
scientific investigation to test a hypothesis. |
| |
|
| |
Ninth
- Twelfth Grades |
CSCS (9-12)
Chemistry 2d |
Students know the atoms and molecules
in liquids move in a random pattern relative to one another because
the intermolecular forces are too weak to hold the atoms or molecules
in a solid form. |
| |
|
CSCS (9-12)
Earth Sciences 2d |
Students know that stars differ in
their life cycles and that visual, radio, and x-ray telescopes may
be used to collect data that reveal the differences. |
