High School Science: Earth Science (page 1 of 3) CALIFORNIA CONTENT-STANDARD CHECKLIST Student Name: ______________ ________________ General Standard Standard Notation Standard Description Planned (X) Date Mastered 1.0 EARTH’S PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE Astronomy and planetary exploration reveal the solar system’s structure, scale, and change over time. ES.1.a Students know how the differences and similarities among the sun, the terrestrial planets, and the gas planets may have been established during the formation of the solar system. ES.1.b Students know the evidence from Earth and moon rocks indicates that the solar system was formed from a nebular cloud of dust and gas approximately 4.6 billion years ago. ES.1.c Students know the evidence from geological studies of Earth and other planets suggest that the early Earth was very different from Earth today. ES.1.d Students know the evidence indicating that the planets are much closer to Earth than the stars are. ES.1.e Students know the Sun is a typical star and is powered by nuclear reactions, primarily the fusion of hydrogen to form helium. ES.1.f Students know the evidence for the dramatic effects that asteroid impacts have had in shaping the surface of planets and their moons and in mass extinctions of life on Earth. ES.1.g * Students know the evidence for the existence of planets orbiting other stars. 2.0 EARTH’S PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE Earth-based and space-based astronomy reveal the structure, scale, and changes in stars, galaxies, and the universe over time. ES.2.a Students know the solar system is located in an outer edge of the disc-shaped Milky Way galaxy, which spans 100,000 light years. ES.2.b Students know galaxies are made of billions of stars and comprise most of the visible mass of the universe. ES.2.c Students know the evidence indicating that all elements with an atomic number greater than that of
