Standard: Show Content Tip
5b Students know the solar system includes the planet Earth, the Moon, the Sun, eight other planets and their satellites, and smaller objects, such as asteroids and comets.


Holistic Rating: Moderate coverage of this standard.
"Solar Energy" Science Stories pages 40-44 provide moderate coverage of this standard.


Aspects that do not help student learning:
Text has no information about asteroids or comets. The drawing of the solar system on page 41 can be misinterpreted if students do not read or understand the text explaining that the size of the Sun and the orbit distances are not accurately drawn to scale.
