Solar System WebQuest

Although I tried to stick with my topic of energy, I couldnt resist this topic of the Solar System for more reasons than one. The object is for the student to become an astronaut and search the nine planets in our solar system. The task includes;

• collecting data from each planet.
• choosing a favorite planet.
• sending a cyber postcard to an earthling.

However, before the last step of sending a cyber postcard to an earthling is completed. Students must not forget to report into Mission Control (the teacher). The information collected should consist of the following;

• The order the planet is from the sun.
• Does the planet have any moons?
• If yes, how many moons does it have?

The children must be sure to remember to take turns with their partner in order to have equal access and contribution to the assignment. immediately following is the link for the "Solar System WebQuest"
