      • Grade: 1
        • OH.1. - Observe constant and changing patterns of objects in the day and night sky.
          • 1.A. - Observe constant and changing patterns of objects in the day and night sky.
      • Grade: 2
        • OH.1. - Observe constant and changing patterns of objects in the day and night sky.
          • 1.A. - Observe constant and changing patterns of objects in the day and night sky.
          • 1.2. - Grade Level Indicator: The Universe: Observe and describe how the sun, moon and stars all appear to move slowly across the sky.
          • 1.4. - Grade Level Indicator: Earth Systems: Observe and describe that some weather changes occur throughout the day and some changes occur in a repeating seasonal pattern.
    • Grade: 5
      • OH.1. - Explain the characteristics, cycles and patterns involving Earth and its place in the solar system.
        • 1.A. - Explain the characteristics, cycles and patterns involving Earth and its place in the solar system.
        • 1.2. - Grade Level Indicator: The Universe: Explain that Earth is one of several planets to orbit the sun, and that the moon orbits Earth.
        • 1.3. - Grade Level Indicator: The Universe: Describe the characteristics of Earth and its orbit about the sun (e.g., three-fourths of Earth's surface is covered by a layer of water (some of it frozen), the entire planet surrounded by a thin blanket of air, elliptical orbit, tilted axis and spherical planet).
    • Grade: 8
      • OH.1. - Grade Level Indicator: The Universe: Describe how objects in the solar system are in regular and predictable motions that explain such phenomena as days, years, seasons, eclipses, tides and moon cycles.
        • 1.1. - Grade Level Indicator: The Universe: Describe how objects in the solar system are in regular and predictable motions that explain such phenomena as days, years, seasons, eclipses, tides and moon cycles.
        • 1.2. - Grade Level Indicator: The Universe: Explain that gravitational force is the dominant force determining motions in the solar system and in particular keeps the planets in orbit around the sun.
        • 1.3. - Grade Level Indicator: The Universe: Compare the orbits and composition of comets and asteroids with that of Earth.
        • 1.4. - Grade Level Indicator: The Universe: Describe the effect that asteroids or meteoroids have when moving through space and sometimes entering planetary atmospheres (e.g., meteor-'shooting star' and meteorite).
  • Grade: 6
    • OH.1. - Describe how the positions and motions of the objects in the universe cause predictable and cyclic events.
      • 1.A. - Describe how the positions and motions of the objects in the universe cause predictable and cyclic events.
  • Grade: 7
    • OH.1. - Describe how the positions and motions of the objects in the universe cause predictable and cyclic events.
      • 1.A. - Describe how the positions and motions of the objects in the universe cause predictable and cyclic events.
      • 1.B. - Explain that the universe is composed of vast amounts of matter, most of which is at incomprehensible distances and held together by gravitational force. Describe how the universe is studied by the use of equipment such as telescopes, probes, satellites and spacecraft.
  • Grade: 8
