SCUSD NGSS Curriculum Guide
 * MS-ESS1-3: Analyze and interpret data to determine scale properties of objects in the solar system. ** [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the analysis of data from Earth-based instruments, space-based telescopes, and spacecraft to determine similarities and differences among solar system objects. Examples of scale properties include the sizes of an object’s layers (such as crust and atmosphere), surface features (such as volcanoes), and orbital radius. Examples of data include statistical information, drawings and photographs, and models.] [//Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include recalling facts about properties of the planets and other solar system bodies.//]
