Earth Tilt Sun Patterns Seasons Card Sort Worksheet Assessment NGSS MS-ESS1-1

Description

“

This 4-part easy prep, engaging and rigorous lesson will help your students to understand why there are seasons on Earth. This NGSS three dimensional resource covers the Performance Expectation “Develop and use a model of the Earth-sun system to describe the cyclic patterns of the seasons.(MS-ESS1-1)”.

What students do:

1. Students individually do a virtual card sort.
2. Students do a collaborative card sort.
3. Students use the card sort to fill in the worksheet.
4. Students do an assessment.

The NGSS Standards included:

NGSS Performance Expectation (PE)

Develop and use a model of the Earth-sun system to describe the cyclic patterns of the seasons.(MS-ESS1-1) 

Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCI)

ESS1.B:  Earth and the Solar System

This model of the solar system explains that Earth’s spin on its axis is fixed in direction over the short-term but tilted relative to its orbit around the sun. The seasons are a result of that tilt and are caused by the differential intensity of sunlight on different areas of Earth across the year. 

(MS-ESS1-1)

The solar system consists of the sun and a collection of objects, including planets, their moons, and asteroids that are held in orbit around the sun by its gravitational pull on them.(MS-ESS1-2) (MS-ESS1-3)

ESS1.A:  The Universe and Its Stars

Patterns of the apparent motion of the sun, the moon, and stars in the sky can be observed, described, predicted, and explained with models.(MS-ESS1-1)

Science and Engineering Practices (SEP)

Developing and Using Models

A practice of both science and engineering is to use and construct models as helpful tools for representing ideas and explanations. These tools include diagrams, drawings, physical replicas, mathematical representations, analogies, and computer simulations .

Cross Cutting Concepts (CCC)

Patterns

Observed patterns in nature guide organization and classification and prompt questions about relationships and causes underlying them.

Cause & Effect Events have causes, sometimes simple, sometimes multifaceted. Deciphering causal relationships, and the mechanisms by which they are mediated, is a major activity of science and engineering.

Systems and System Models

A system is an organized group of related objects or components; models can be used for understanding and predicting the behavior of systems.

Scientific Knowledge Assumes an Order and Consistency in Natural Systems

Science assumes that objects and events in natural systems occur in consistent patterns that are understandable through measurement and observation. (MS-ESS1-1), (MS-ESS1-2)
