GLEs -Strand 6 - Composition and Structure of the Universe and the Motion of the Objects Within It |
| 1. The universe has observable properties and structure. |
| A. The Earth, Sun, and Moon are part of a larger system that includes other planets and smaller celestial bodies. |
| B. The Earth has a composition and location suitable to sustain life. |
| C. Most of the information we know about the universe comes from the electromagnetic spectrum. |
| 2. Regular and predictable motions of objects in the universe can be described and explained as the result of gravitational force. |
| A. The apparent motion of the Sun and other stars, as seen from the Earth, change in observable patterns. |
| B. The apparent position of the moon, as seen from Earth, and its actual position relative to Earth change in observable patterns. |
| C. The regular and predictable motions of a planet and moon relative to the Sun explain natural phenomena on a planet, such as day, month, year, shadows, moon phases, eclipses, tides and seasons. |
| D. Gravity is the force of attraction between objects in the solar system that governs their motion. |
