Atmospheric Science Training California
Standards and Objectives
The following are descriptions of the California
Science Content Standards and California Math Content Standards that
are met through the Astro-Venture Atmospheric Science lessons. They
are delineated
as follows:
| CSCS (3) 1g |

| |
Third Grade |
| CSCS (3) 1g |
Students know that when two or
more substances are combined, a new substance may be formed with
properties that are different from those of the original materials. |
| |
|
| CSCS (3) 1h |
Students know all matter is made
of small particles called atoms, too small to see with the naked
eye. |
| |
|
| |
Fifth Grade
|
| CSCS (5) 1a |
Students know that during chemical reactions the atoms
in the reactants rearrange to form products with different properties.
|
| |
|
| CSCS (5) 1b |
Students know all matter is made of atoms, which may combine
to form molecules.
|
| |
|
| CSCS (5) 2g |
Students know plant and animal cells break down sugar to obtain
energy, a process resulting in carbon dioxide and water (respiration).
|
| |
|
| 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) 3d |
Students know that heat
energy is also transferred between objects by radiation (radiation
can travel through space). |
| |
|
| 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. |
| |
|
| CSCS (6) 7d |
Students will communicate the steps
and results from an investigation in written reports and oral presentations. |
| |
|
| CSCS (6) 7e |
Students will recognize whether evidence
is consistent with a proposed explanation. |
| |
|
| |
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. |
| |
|
| CSCS (7) 7c |
Students will communicate the logical
connection among hypotheses, science concepts, tests conducted, data
collected, and conclusions drawn from the scientific evidence. |
| |
|
| CSCS (7) 7e |
Students will communicate the steps
and results from an investigation in written reports and oral presentations. |
| |
|
| |
Ninth
- Twelfth Grades |
CSCS (9-12)
Earth Science 4c |
Students know the different
atmospheric gases that absorb the Earth's thermal radiation and the
mechanism and significance of the greenhouse effect. |
| |
|
CSCS (9-12)
Earth Science 8a |
Students know the thermal structure
and chemical composition of the atmosphere. |
| |
|
CSCS (9-12)
Earth Sciences 8c |
Students know the location of the
ozone layer in the upper atmosphere, its role in absorbing ultraviolet
radiation, and the way in which this layer varies both naturally
and in response to human activities. |
