Step 1 

    Open the Space Explorers page. This will tell you who's in your group and which planet you have to explore.

Step 2 

    Start looking up and writing down information on your planet. These notes will be eventually be turned in to Miss Bouteiller.

    Here are some ideas you could be looking     for. 

        A. What color is the planet?
        B. How far it is away from the sun?
        C. How big is it?   
        D. How did it get its name?
        E. How long does it take to revolve                 around the sun? 
        F. What is the temperature of the                 planet?   
        G. Does it have moons?

    Here are some websites to help you get started:

Step 3

    Prepare a 1 page type written, double spaced report about your planet including all the wonderful information you found. 

    Please remember to proofread your paper before handing it in.

     Along with the 1 page report, I want you to turn in the notes you took when you were researching your planet.

Step 4 

    Get together with your group and discuss your findings with each other. Then prepare an oral report that you will present to the class.
