LG (1). Understand basic principles of the sun’s structure and how it functions
Success Criteria (SC)• I can name the layers of the sun in
order (or label them on a diagram)• I can describe the source of the
sun’s energy, name its form, and describe its journey from the sun’s core to earth.
Learning Goals
LG (3). Investigate the role of the atmosphere in making the earth habitable
SCs• I can explain how the sun warms,
lights, and minimizes temperature fluctuations on the earth (insulating effect).
• I can explain what happens to EM radiation when it hits the atmosphere (reflection, absorption)
LG (2). Describe the impact the sun’s energy and solar winds have on the earth (phenomena)
SCs• I can explain the key terms:
daylight, solar wind, auroras, greenhouse effect, interference
• I can describe what is happening during each of the phenomena above.

Astronomy: The branch of science that studies objects beyond the Earth (in “outer space”)
Celestial body: Any object in space
The Universe: Everything that exists
Key Terms
Star: A massive celestial body composed of hot gases that radiates large amounts of energy
Luminous: glowing, light producing
Planet: a celestial body which orbits a star
Satellite: a celestial body which orbits another body
Orbit: the closed path an satellite takes around another body
Moon: a natural satellite of a planet
Solar system: the Sun and all of the celestial bodies that orbit it
