Next Generation Science Standards for California Public Schools, Kindergarten through Grade Twelve Alternative Discipline Specific Course Grade Six – Earth and Space Sciences California Department of Education Clarification statements were created by the writers of NGSS to supply examples or additional clarification to the performance expectations and assessment boundary statements. *The performance expectations marked with an asterisk integrate traditional science content with engineering through a Practice or Disciplinary Core Idea. **California clarification statements, marked with double asterisks, were incorporated by the California Science Expert Review Panel. ***Multiple DCIs show supplemental DCIs with three asterisks at the end of the DCI description. These are core ideas from other science disciplines that are important to understanding the DCI. The section entitled “Disciplinary Core Ideas” is reproduced verbatim from A Framework for K–12 Science Education: Practices, Cross-Cutting Concepts, and Core Ideas. Revised March 2015. MS-ESS1 Earth’s Place in the Universe MS-ESS1 Earth’s Place in the Universe Students who demonstrate understanding can: MS-ESS1-1. Develop and use a model of the Earth-sun-moon system to describe the cyclic patterns of lunar phases, eclipses of the sun and moon, and seasons. [Clarification Statement: Examples of models can be physical, graphical, or conceptual.] MS-ESS1-2. Develop and use a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis for the model is on gravity as the force that holds together the solar system and Milky Way galaxy and controls orbital motions within them. Examples of models can be physical (such as the analogy of distance along a football field or computer visualizations of elliptical orbits) or conceptual (such as mathematical proportions relative to the size of familiar objects such as their school or state).] [Assessment Boun
