Starry Night Lesson Plans
Grades 9, 10, 11, 12 In order of relevance
STRAND 1: Physical Systems
CONTENT STANDARD 1: Students will demonstrate an understanding of physical systems as
a process of inquiry.
PS.1.1. Understand that science is a process based on the scientific method which leads to a
deeper understanding of real world situations.
PS.1.2. Follow procedures for a scientific inquiry using step-by-step instructions, mathematical
formulas, flow diagrams, and/or sketches. All Starry Night lesson plans and
computer exercises.
PS.1.4 Evaluate the process that scientists use to construct and validate scientific theory, such as
data collection, prediction, experimentation (controls and variables), bias elimination, and
replication.
PS.1.5. Make objective observations and perform error analysis on collected data.
PS.1.6. Formulate valid conclusions. These objectives are embedded
within Starry Night's hands-on
PS.1.7. Communicate and defend in writing a scientific argument.
activities, computer exercises, and
PS.1.8. Critique and interpret scientific data on charts and graphs. SkyGuide tutorials.
PS.1.9 Recognize that theories are models and may be revised when new data is introduced.
CONTENT STANDARD 3: Students will demonstrate an understanding of the connections and
applications of physical science.
PS.3.4. Understand that mathematics is the precise language of communication and problem
solving in science (conversions logarithms, inverse square law, etc.). (Measure and calculate
using SI units.) B2 D1 D3 F1 G1 H1 H2 I2
PS.3.7. Understand broad themes of Project 2061. Such themes include systems, patterns of
change, interactions, energy equilibrium, models, and scale (e.g., relative dimensions such
as Solar System size). All Starry Night lesson plans and
computer exercises.
