Week -2 -8

# data[].attributes.body
•The planets and stars have unique
characteristics and orbital patterns around the sun.
• Space travel allows us to explore beyond Earth’s boundaries

•The sun and moon have the most significant impact on Earth

# data[].attributes.body
• Earth is a unique planet in the solar system.

Using the research findings of the whole class, each student will complete a Visitor’s Guide to Space. Using a rubric, students will identify key information for their guide, such as information about the moon, galaxies, the stars, history of planets and the sun. Genre specific non-fiction writing criteria will also be assessed. Through teacher and student observations, student engagement in the research will be noted as well.  We will be adding a QR code technology element in which the information for each planet will be stored.  This will be accessed from a book compiled by the students.  We will also focus the book information to address the needs of Freddie the Frog in his space exploration expedition.
