Solar System
Introductio
The Solar System is made up of the sun and all the objects that orbit around it. There are many stars, planets, comets and other objects in space. Imagine that you are an astronaut, about to take off in your space craft with your crew members. Five, four, three, two, one blast off! What planet will you visit first? What will you see and what new discoveries will you make?
Questions:
1. Is the sun a star?
2. How many large moons does Jupiter have? What are their names?
3. What is Mars called?

Subject(s):
Solar System (2rd Grade)
Introduction:
Our class has been selected by the principle to present science projects at the Science fair.Since we have been doing the Solar System for the past week our science projects will be based on that. We need to gather a lot of information about the planets, things in the solar system and pictures in order to complete our projects.
Task(s):
1.Research information.
2.Create 3-d model.
Process:
1. Research the Solar System (planets and surroundings).
2.Using the information that you have researched create a 3-d model of what you think the solar system looks like.
3.Attach one fact about each planet that you have learned to the model that you have created. (The information can be placed anywhere on the model).
