INTRODUCING THE SOLAR SYSTEM


Hello Science Explorers!!!

Time for another blast off into cyberspace!!! For the next two weeks, we will be studying the planets of the solar system. We will be looking closely at their size, color, atmospheric conditions, and other features that distinguish them from one another. I have provided a link to a web site that we will use a class reference.

When posting your blog, I would like for you to comment on at least 4 planets per week. As you navigate through the web-pages and reflect on your findings, I would like to read your findings about the forms of life, if any, that exists on the planets. I also want you to tell me if there are any moons on each planet. Make sure that you list the similarities and differences among the planets that you choose to write about. Also be sure to tell me which planet you find most interesting and why.

Don't forget to click on the link in the "Links To This Weeks Blog" section of our page or just click the solar system here: http://www.kidsastronomy.com/solarsystem


Have fun Explorers!!!!
