The Solar System

Planet Selector Map

 

This is my favorite class to teach, it is all about exploring beyond the Earth! I feel that my fifth graders really learn a lot from this class and I make sure they have some fun with the projects.

There will be four projects due in this class. The students should use internet resources to help them with their research, here are a few that I recommend:

bullet http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/index.cfm?Display=NoFlash
bullet http://www.anoca.org/objects/earth/solar_system.html
bullet http://www.solarviews.com/eng/homepage.htm
bullet http://evula.org/solarsystem/

The Project Subjects:

  1. The Sun.
  2. Comets.
  3. The Moon.
  4. Students choice of a planet. I encourage the students to pick one that is of interest to them.

All of the projects should include a one page paper explaining what the subject is and what its functions are. A model of the subject is to be constructed, use your imagination for this one! The students will present their fourth, and final, project to the class during the final week of school.
