# S2E1: Star Size and Brightness

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about stars having different sizes and brightness.

- Subject: Science
- Appears in: Grade 2, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/science/grade-2.md

## Expectations

- **S2E1.a**: Ask questions to describe the physical attributes (size and brightness) of stars.
- **S2E1.b**: Construct an argument to support the claim that although the sun appears to be the brightest and largest star, it is actually medium in size and brightness.

## Georgia Milestones coverage

No Georgia Milestones blueprint cites this standard.
