Tools for this Unit:

Activity 3: Planet Presentations

Students will be formed into groups of 2-3 students. Each group will be assigned a planet and they must find information about their planet. The students will also have to illustrate their planet. Students will be allowed to use the laptops and the websites given by the teacher to find information on their planet. The students will also have the responsibility to find the answers to the questions constructed by the students (albeit rational questions), during the scavenger hunt. Students will illustrate their planet and record the facts on a chart a paper. Students will present their planet to the whole class.
