are important. Try to focus more on the characteristics such as the colors, the make up, and the location in which various space objects such as our Solar System can be found.]]> 2018-11-07 01:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kestapleton1995/kestapletonswall_2018/wish/301301581 kestapleton1995 https://padlet.com/kestapleton1995/kestapletonswall_2018/wish/301303578 Now read over the information you found one more time.
After that; use the link below to learn about the three types of Galaxies. Your job is to take notes on each galaxy. Be sure to take good notes focusing on the characteristics once again.]]> 2018-11-07 02:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kestapleton1995/kestapletonswall_2018/wish/301303578 kestapleton1995 https://padlet.com/kestapleton1995/kestapletonswall_2018/wish/301304838 You should now be able to differentiate between the different galaxies. Now we get to the FUN part, your assignment.
I want you to create your own galaxy. You can do what ever you want but you must include the following:
- a name
- the type of galaxy
- the color
- approx. how many solar systems you think are in your galaxy
