SCIENCE-G5-SSS-SCO-19Identify the nearest star to Earth
SCIENCE-G5-SSS-SCO-20Explain how distance affects the apparent brightness of a star
SCIENCE-G5-SSS-SCO-21Infer that the brightness of a light is affected by the distance the light must travel
SCIENCE-G5-SSS-SCO-22Recognize the importance of teamwork to prove that light intensity is affected by distance
SCIENCE-G5-SSS-SCO-23Communicate that the light year is a measure of distance
SCIENCE-G5-SSS-SCO-24Compare the distance of the nearest stars to that of the sun from Earth
SCIENCE-G5-SSS-SCO-25Analyse data to determine how distance from the earth impacts light intensity of the stars
