AWESOME SITE!
Get ready! You are minutes away from Blast Off! This journey will take you to the all the objects in our Solar System. Your mission? You are to embark on a fact finding tour of the planets, their moons, the Sun, comets, and asteroids. You are required to gather as much information/data as you can (don't forget to take pictures!) and return home to share what you have learned. Remember, you will be on this journey for 10 years so make sure you pack enough stuff. (pencils, erasers, paper, etc) All the rest is taken care of for you. So...sit back, relax, and let's begin the countdown. 5...4...3...2...1...Ignition! Blast Off!!
Now What?
This is the fun part! You will be using only
the Internet to assist you with your mission! I have provided many web sites
for you to get started. Feel free to go off on your own to other web
sites that you may have discovered. Once there, determine what
information is important to your data collection, what information is not, and
be sure to take accurate notes. Also, there may be links to other sites on these web
pages. Click on them. Explore. You may be surprised at what you
discover! When you have completed your journey, you will know many
interesting and exciting facts about our Solar System. Not only that, but you
will get to share your new found knowledge with your fellow astronauts!
Here are three links to cool web sites about the Solar System to get you
started. Start clicking!!
