ESS1.A: The Universe and Its StarsMS.SS.DCI.ESS1.A
- a
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)MS.SS.DCI.ESS1.A.1
- b
Earth and its solar system are part of the Milky Way galaxy, which is one of many galaxies in the universe. (MS-ESS1-2)MS.SS.DCI.ESS1.A.2

ESS1.B: Earth and the Solar SystemMS.SS.DCI.ESS1.B
- a
(NYSED) The solar system consists of the Sun and a collection of objects, including planets, their moons, comets, and asteroids that are held in orbit around the Sun by its gravitational pull on them. (MS-ESS1-2),(MS-ESS1-3)MS.SS.DCI.ESS1.B.1
- b
This model of the solar system can explain eclipses of the sun and the moon. Earth’s spin 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)MS.SS.DCI.ESS1.B.2
- c
The solar system appears to have formed from a disk of dust and gas, drawn together by gravity. (MS-ESS1-2)MS.SS.DCI.ESS1.B.3
