Patterns
Sun, Moon, Planets, Stars, Seasons:
-Motions of Sun, Moon, Planetary objects, and Stars can be observed and patterns noted (K-4)
-The shape of the Moon can be observed, recorded and modeled to infer reasons patterns of shadows. (K-4)
-Models of the solar system show patterns that cause seasons and the appearance of planetary objects in the night sky (5-8)
-Tidal patterns can be understood as a result of Sun/Moon gravity. (5-8)
-Patterns of Sun and shadow on planetary bodies causes seasons (5-8)
-Patterns of rock layers help estimate geologic time (9-12)
-Patterns of radioactive decay help estimate geologic time (9-12)
-Patterns of atmospheric currents are influenced by angle of the Sun's rays. (9-12)
-Data from radiation measurements and observation of galaxies shows the patterns of galaxies and movement
