A.  Explain how technology can be used to gather evidence and increase our understanding of the universe.

1.   Explain how scientists obtain information about the universe by using technology to detect electromagnetic radiation that is emitted, reflected or absorbed by stars and other objects.

2.   Explain how the large-scale motion of objects in the universe is governed by gravitational forces and detected by observing electromagnetic radiation.

3.   Explain how information about the universe is inferred by understanding that stars and other objects in space emit, reflect or absorb electromagnetic radiation, which we then detect.

4.   Explain how astronomers infer that the whole universe is expanding by understanding how light seen from distant galaxies has longer apparent wavelengths than comparable light sources close to Earth.

 

B.   Describe how Earth is made up of a series of interconnected systems and how a change in one system affects other systems.

5.   Investigate how thermal energy transfers in the world’s oceans impact physical features (e.g., ice caps, oceanic and atmospheric currents) and weather patterns.

 

C.  Explain that humans are an integral part of the Earth’s system and the choices humans make today impact natural systems in the future.

6.   Describe how scientists estimate how much of a given resource is available on Earth.
