Astronomy Science Project

Our final chapter for science this year is all about the solar system. We are planning a trip to the George Bush library to see their space exhibit on the 19th. If anyone is willing to assist, please let me know.

As for the science project, each student has chosen a planet or other item from the solar system. Students are to research important information pertaining to their selected planet and create a report for the class. The information should include distance from the sun, size, any moons or rings and their names, temperature, composition, and length of 1 year in days. Any other information that is special to your planet should also be included. You may make a model, draw a diagram, create a poster, or any other visual you wish.

Don't forget to bring your labeled drawing of the sun and its atmospheric layers on Tuesday.

Have a great weekend!
