In order to meet this standard, it is expected that students will

• create a model that demonstrates the differences between rotation and revolution (4.5 a)

• research the planets and communicate basic characteristics of each, including whether each is terrestrial or a gas giant, and its relative location in the solar system (4.5 b)

• construct and interpret a simple model to show the location and order of planets in relation to the sun in our solar system (4.5 b)

• compare the relative sizes of the planets to each other as well as to the sun (4.5 c).
