Investigation 7

Terms in this table:

• “Investigation” is the number of the investigation
• “Materials Concept Code” is a reference number based on the science concepts and processes listed in the Overview section of the teacher’s manual
• “Materials Concept” is the text of the science concept or processes listed in the teacher’s manual
• “Indicator Code” is a reference number based on Cumulative Progress Indicators from the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards (2002)
• “Framework Indicator Text” is the text of the progress indicator; the conceptual “strand” for the indicator is in parentheses

Investigation	Materials Concept Code	Materials Concept	Indicator Code	Framework Indicator Text
07	c18	Scale models help people understand size and distance relationships in the Earth/Moon system.	5.03.8.A.1	1. Express quantities using appropriate number formats, such as: decimals, percents, scientific notation. (A. Numerical Operations)
07	c18	Scale models help people understand size and distance relationships in the Earth/Moon system.	5.09.6.B.1	1. Using models, demonstrate an understanding of the scale of the solar system that shows distance and size relationships among the sun and planets. (B. Solar System)
07	c19	The Moon's rotation produces lunar day and night.	5.09.6.A.1	1. Explain how the motions of the Earth, sun, and moon, define units of time including: days, months, years. (A. Earth, Moon, Sun System)
07	c19	The Moon's rotation produces lunar day and night.	5.09.8.A.1	1. Investigate the Earth, moon, and sun as a system and explain how the motion of these bodies results in the phases of the moon and eclipses. (A. Earth, Moon, Sun System)
07	p18	Construct a scale model of the Earth/Moon system.	5.03.8.A.1	1. Express quantities using appropriate number formats, such as: decimals, percents, scientific notation. (A. Numerical Operations)
07	p18	Construct a scale model of the Earth/Moon system.	5.03.8.B.1	1. Perform mathematical computations using labeled quantities and express answers in correctly derived units. (B. Geometry and Measurement)
07	p18	Construct a scale model of the Earth/Moon system.	5.09.6.B.1	1. Using models, demonstrate an understanding of the scale of the solar system that shows distance and size relationships among the sun and planets. (B. Solar System)
07	p19	Describe the sequence and timing of events that will result in a successful Moon mission.	5.04.6.C.1	1. Select a technological problem and describe the criteria and constraints that are addressed in solving the problem. (C. Technological Design)
07	p20	Compare and describe day and night on Earth and the Moon.	5.09.6.A.1	1. Explain how the motions of the Earth, sun, and moon, define units of time including: days, months, years. (A. Earth, Moon, Sun System)
07	p20	Compare and describe day and night on Earth and the Moon.	5.09.6.A.2	2. Recognize that changes in the Earth's position relative to the sun produces differing amounts of daylight seasonally. (A. Earth, Moon, Sun System)
07	p20	Compare and describe day and night on Earth and the Moon.	5.09.8.A.1	1. Investigate the Earth, moon, and sun as a system and explain how the motion of these bodies results in the phases of the moon and eclipses. (A. Earth, Moon, Sun System)
