Primary Connections:

MA Science and Technology/Engineering Framework (2006)
(Massachusetts)

  • Earth and Space Science > 05 Periodic Phenomena (Grade: K – 2)
    Identify some events around us that have repeating patterns, including the seasons of the year, day and night.

National Science Education Standards (1996)
(National)

  • Earth and Space Science > Objects in the sky (Grade: K – 4)
    The sun, moon, stars, clouds, birds, and airplanes all have properties, locations, and movements that can be observed and described.
  • Earth and Space Science > Changes in earth and sky (Grade: K – 4)
    Objects in the sky have patterns of movement. The sun, for example, appears to move across the sky in the same way every day, but its path changes slowly over the seasons. The moon moves across the sky on a daily basis much like the sun. The observable shape of the moon changes from day to day in a cycle that lasts about a month.

Secondary Connections:

MA Science and Technology/Engineering Framework (2006)
(Massachusetts)

  • Earth and Space Science > 04 The Sun as a Source of Light and Heat (Grade: K – 2)
    Recognize that the sun supplies heat and light to the earth and is necessary for life.

National Science Education Standards (1996)
(National)

  • Earth and Space Science > Objects in the sky (Grade: K – 4)
    The sun provides the light and heat necessary to maintain the temperature of the earth.
