Friday, 9/2/2011

You've been working at your projects for two days.  Some of you are done, some of you are confused, some of you need to finish that project today.

That's fine.


On Monday, we'll be starting the second unit, which is gaining an understanding of how our solar system formed, how big it is, and the characteristics we notice.   It's this observation that leads to science.   Your goal will be to find out about the core and the surface of each of the planets by going here and to find out the length of one year for each of the planets by using your book.  Other questions may be answered
Do you see patterns?
How does that relate to density or the time it takes for a planet to spin on its axis?
Are there patterns in the materials that make up each of the planets, or are they random?
What about patterns in the moons?
Is water found on each planet?

I'm sure there are more questions we will think of as we do this, but this is our starting point.
