Solar System

Students are required to learn a lot about the solar system in the next two weeks.  Please study the planets, their order and the space probes that have helped us to know more about them.  Students also need to know the difference between asteroids, comets, and meteors.  The following link has a literacy component and lessons you can do at home to enrich the lessons taught in class.

There is a lesson titled following in Galileo's footsteps.  It explains how to make a telescope.  Any student who makes the telescope will earn extra credit.  Please bring the telescope into class to share what was learned.
