Standard: Show Content Tip
5a Students know the Sun, an average star, is the central and largest body in the solar system and is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium.
Holistic Rating: Moderate coverage of this standard.
| "Solar Energy" Science Stories pages 1-5 and 40 provide moderate coverage of this standard. |
Aspects that do not help student learning:
The illustration on page 41 is somewhat confusing in the way it shows the orbits for the four inner planets. It can also 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.
