Tools for this Unit:

Activity 2: Planetary Scavenger Walk

The eight planets of the solar system and the sun are going to be on chart paper posted throughout the classroom and the hallways. Each student will have a scavenger hunt checklist and the students will have to find the planet that matches the clue on the scavenger hunt. While completing the scavenger hunt, students must pose at least one question about each planet. These questions will be used for the research segment of the unit.
