Materials for Classroom Use

The following materials used for this unit are all suggested but not mandated. For students to create their own mnemonic students will need chart paper, colored pencils, and markers. Computers must be available for students to observe 3D simulations of the solar system. When creating their poster presentations students would need chart paper, markers, pencils, and glue. When students are calculating the distance between the sun and planets, students will use a calculator, pencils, and paper. For students to create their scale model of the solar system students would need toilet paper, toothpicks, clay, and glue. Students will have 1:1 laptops and will be collaborating in groups during projects.
