Discipline - Earth and Space Sciences

Core Idea - Earth's Place in the Universe

[1.ESS.1.1] - Use observations of the Sun, Moon, and stars to describe that each appears to rise in one part of the sky, appears to move across the sky, and appears to set.

Predecessor Standards:

  • K.G.A.1
    Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.
  • PreK.ESS.1.1
    Demonstrate awareness that the Moon can be seen in the daytime and at night, and of the different apparent shapes of the Moon over a month. Clarification Statement: The names of moon phases or sequencing of moon phases is not expected.
  • PreK.ESS.1.2
    Observe and use evidence to describe that the Sun is in different places in the sky during the day.

Successor Standards:

  • 5.ESS.1.2
    Use a model to communicate Earth’s relationship to the Sun, Moon, and other stars that explain (a) why people on Earth experience day and night, (b) patterns in daily changes in length and direction of shadows over a day, and (c) changes in the apparent position of the Sun, Moon, and stars at different times during a day, over a month, and over a year. Clarification Statement: Models should illustrate that the Earth, Sun, and Moon are spheres; include orbits of the Earth around the Sun and of the Moon around Earth; and demonstrate Earth’s rotation about its axis. State Assessment Boundary: Causes of lunar phases or seasons, or use of Earth’s tilt are not expected in state assessment.

Same Level Standards:

  • RI.1.7
    Use the illustrations and details in a text to describe its key ideas.
  • 1.MD.B.3
    Tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog and digital clocks.
  • 1.MD.C.4
    Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another.
