How the World Works - Solar System
An inquiry into the natural world and its laws; the interaction between the natural world (physical and biological) and human societies; how human use their understanding of scientific principles; the impact of scientific and technological advances on society and on the environment.
Central IdeaHuman’s curiosity leads to the understanding that Earth is part of an immense system called the universe
Lines of Inquiry● The relationship between Earth and celestial bodies in our solar system
● The impacts of Earth’s position and movement affect itself ● Technology which aids the study of the universe Learner Profiles- Inquirer (Curiosity, Independence)
· Curiosity: Show curiosity in inquiring about Earth and properties in the solar system · Independence: conducting the research and scientific experiment independently Learner Attitudes· Curiosity: doing the scientific experiment and make a scientific report based on the basic scientific principles
· Creativity: show creativity when finding alternatives and solution in the scientific experiment |
Transdisciplinary skillsThinking skills
Analysis: find information and interesting facts about planets and other space objects in solar system (seeing the relationships and connection) to show that Earth is the best place for human living, seeing relationships about how Earth’s position in the solar system can impact to the natural phenomenon Application: students will apply their knowledge about scientific method to support their study during this unit Research skills (scientific research skills) Formulating questions: create research questions before they did a background research for doing their scientific experiment Observing: test their hypothesis by doing the experiment and did observation about the process of their scientific experiment Recording data (note taking, note making): record the data that is obtained from their experiment - English Organizing data (sorting and categorizing information): organize data in the form of chart, table or graphic organizer Interpreting data: analyze the data obtained from the experiment and draw conclusion Presenting research findings: using various media to communicate the result of the experiment and demonstrate the scientific experiment using diorama, 3D models. |
Key ConceptsConcepts: Function, Causation, Connection
Related Concepts: * Science: properties, impacts Earth and Space : gravity, space, systems (solar), theory of origin, patterns, magnetism. * Language: English – procedural writing, reading for understanding, skimming, note taking/ making. Bahasa: descriptive writing, facts and opinion, visual presentation (comic) – integrated with Visual Arts. What teacher questions/provocations will drive these inquiries?
1. Of what does the solar system consist? What are the properties of solar system? 2. What is the relationship among the celestial bodies? 3. What is the position of Earth in solar system? What are the impacts of the position? 4. What are the Earth’s movements? What are their impacts? 5. What are the basic scientific principles of natural phenomena in the universe? 6. What are the technologies related to the natural phenomenon? |
1st Formative AssessmentStudents describe planetary facts

Summative Assessment Task
Students choose one of the natural phenomena derived from class discussion during the learning. Then, they need to explain the natural phenomenon with a visual presentation (diagram, models, IT based, etc.), they produce a report explaining the impacts of the natural phenomenon on life.

Summative Task Criteria:
● Creates clear analysis based on basic scientific principles (revolution, rotation, gravity, magnetism, forces, energy) about the chosen natural phenomenon. ● Produces a creative, in-detailed presentation. ● Explains the impact of the natural phenomenon on life. ● Includes a brief description of the associated technology.

Dependent and Independent Variable
Independent Variable
is a factor that can be varied or manipulated in an experiment (e.g. time, temperature, concentration etc). It is usually what will affect the dependent variable.
Dependent Variable
is what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment
Control
A control in an experiment is a group, sample, test, etc. that is used in comparison to the group, sample, test, etc. that the experiment is actually done for. Controls can also be samples in which the expected value is known. This is the part of the expirement that does not change.
Read this powerpoint presentation to learn more about dependent and independent variable and do some quizz. :D
