Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.5-ESS1-1
Support an argument that differences in the apparent brightness of the sun compared to other stars is due to their relative distances from Earth.5-ESS1-2
Represent data in graphical displays to reveal patterns of daily changes in length and direction of shadows, day and night, and the seasonal appearance of some stars in the night sky.Mapping the Skies with Star Charts
