I. CURRICULUM CONTENT, STANDARDS, AND LESSON COMPETENCIES

A. Content Standards The learners learn that the Sun is a ball of hot gases about 100 times the size of Earth, which radiates light energy
needed by living things.
B. Performance By the end of the Quarter, learners use personal observations and reliable secondary information sources to describe the
Standards Sun and explain its importance to life on Earth.
