Our Solar System

For the month of January, we were studying planets and the solar system in Science. Students were given a part, a rubric, and a set of instructions. They had to create a powerpoint presentation, a poster, a travel brochure, and a 3D model.

Here's a look at their work:

 You may have noticed we have one planet missing: Earth. As of picture time this group was not finished with their project and were not featured in this blog. You may have also noticed that we featured Moon, Sun, and Pluto. Moon and Sun are not planets. Moon is a satellite that orbits Earth and Sun is a star. Pluto USED to be one of the planets, but since scientists discovered it orbits two different stars it is now considered a dwarf planet.

We had a great time working on these projects. I hope you enjoyed it too!
