Exam tips

• Our Solar System exam tip 1

  Use the named Space Physics term first, then link it to (Physics only) State that the Sun is a star with evidence or a clear sequence; add one boundary check for Our Solar System.

  This is actionable because it tells students how to structure the answer: term, evidence or sequence, then boundary check. Anchor: spacecue-101-classification-solar-system-model.

• Our Solar System exam tip 2

  Use the named Space Physics term first, then link it to (Physics only) State that the Sun is one of many stars in the Milky Way galaxy with evidence or a clear sequence; add one boundary check for Our Solar System.

  This is actionable because it tells students how to structure the answer: term, evidence or sequence, then boundary check. Anchor: spacecue-102-evidence-planet-moon-comparison.

• Our Solar System exam tip 3

  Use the named Space Physics term first, then link it to (Physics only) State that the Milky Way galaxy is one of many billions of galaxies in the universe with evidence or a clear sequence; add one boundary check for Our Solar System.

  This is actionable because it tells students how to structure the answer: term, evidence or sequence, then boundary check. Anchor: spacecue-103-sequence-natural-satellite-orbit.

• Our Solar System exam tip 4

  Use the named Space Physics term first, then link it to (Physics only) Describe the Solar System as the Sun, planets, dwarf planets, moons, asteroids and comets with evidence or a clear sequence; add one boundary check for Our Solar System.

  This is actionable because it tells students how to structure the answer: term, evidence or sequence, then boundary check. Anchor: spacecue-104-boundary-artificial-satellite-mission.

• Our Solar System exam tip 5

  Use the named Space Physics term first, then link it to (Physics only) State that planets and dwarf planets orbit the Sun with evidence or a clear sequence; add one boundary check for Our Solar System.

  This is actionable because it tells students how to structure the answer: term, evidence or sequence, then boundary check. Anchor: spacecue-105-cause-low-earth-orbit-observation.

• Our Solar System exam tip 6

  Use the named Space Physics term first, then link it to (Physics only) State that moons orbit planets with evidence or a clear sequence; add one boundary check for Our Solar System.

  This is actionable because it tells students how to structure the answer: term, evidence or sequence, then boundary check. Anchor: spacecue-106-consequence-geostationary-satellite-link.

• Our Solar System exam tip 7

  Use the named Space Physics term first, then link it to (Physics only) Describe a moon as a natural satellite with evidence or a clear sequence; add one boundary check for Our Solar System.

  This is actionable because it tells students how to structure the answer: term, evidence or sequence, then boundary check. Anchor: spacecue-107-comparison-protostar-nebula-stage.

• Our Solar System exam tip 8

  Use the named Space Physics term first, then link it to (Physics only) Describe artificial satellites as human-made objects that orbit planets or moons with evidence or a clear sequence; add one boundary check for Our Solar System.

  This is actionable because it tells students how to structure the answer: term, evidence or sequence, then boundary check. Anchor: spacecue-108-scale-main-sequence-balance.

• Our Solar System exam tip 9

  Use the named Space Physics term first, then link it to (Physics only) Distinguish planets from moons by what they orbit with evidence or a clear sequence; add one boundary check for Our Solar System.

  This is actionable because it tells students how to structure the answer: term, evidence or sequence, then boundary check. Anchor: spacecue-109-motion-red-giant-expansion.

• Our Solar System exam tip 10

  Use the named Space Physics term first, then link it to (Physics only) Distinguish stars from planets by explaining that stars produce their own light by fusion whereas planets do not with evidence or a clear sequence; add one boundary check for Our Solar System.

  This is actionable because it tells students how to structure the answer: term, evidence or sequence, then boundary check. Anchor: spacecue-110-observation-white-dwarf-cooling.
