| EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE |
|
Standard 5: Earth in Space and Time
The origin and eventual fate of the Universe still remains one of the greatest questions in science.
Gravity and energy influence the development and life cycles of galaxies, including our own Milky Way Galaxy,
stars, the planetary systems, Earth, and residual material left from the formation of the Solar System.
Humankind's need to explore continues to lead to the development of knowledge and understanding of the
nature of the Universe. |
