Science content standards for students (Grades 9-12): Though the actual proposal puts emphasis on scientific inquiry, the process of learning about the satellite and its instruments meets many science content standards. Learning about elements to study also heavily involves many science content standards. The following standards encompass all of the standards in the process. The standards in italics are specific for the proposal.   Science as Inquiry CONTENT STANDARD A: As a result of activities in grades 9-12, all students should develop Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry Understandings about scientific inquiry   Physical Science CONTENT STANDARD B: As a result of their activities in grades 9-12, all students should develop an understanding of Structure of atoms Structure and properties of matter Motions and forces Conservation of energy and increase in disorder Interactions of energy and matter   Earth and Space Science CONTENT STANDARD D: As a result of their activities in grades 9-12, all students should develop an understanding of Origin and evolution of the universe   Science and Technology CONTENT STANDARD E: As a result of activities in grades 9-12, all students should develop Abilities of technological design Understandings about science and technology   Science in Personal and Social Perspectives CONTENT STANDARD F: As a result of activities in grades 9-12, all students should develop understanding of Science and technology in local, national, and global challenges   History and Nature of Science CONTENT STANDARD G: As a result of activities in grades 9-12, all students should develop understanding of Science as a human endeavor Nature of scientific knowledge Historical perspectives Return to Classroom standards Return to Teacher's Homepage
