Planets change their positions against the background of stars. The earth is one of several planets that orbit the sun, and the moon orbits around the earth. By the end of the 5 th grade, students should know that

Make and interpret scale drawings Find and describe locations on maps with rectangular and polar coordinates. Make sketches to aid in explaining procedures and ideas. Many materials can be recycled and used again, sometimes in different forms. Planets change their positions against the background of stars. Example: AAAS Benchmarks for Science Literacy

At a minimum, a good curriculum: (1) defines meaningful relationships among learning outcomes; and (2) may provide links to supporting learning resources, pedagogical guides, professional development documents etc. “Planets change their positions against the background of stars.”
