Astronomy Projects
During our Astronomy Unit, students will complete two projects. The first will be on the Planets of our Solar System. Students will be divided into groups, choose a planet, and conduct research by filling in a chart with important information about the planet. The end products will be in the form of a PowerPoint presentation and a brochure.
The second project will be completed individually. Each student will need to create an imaginary planet. There are 3 components: a paper, model of planet, and presentation.
