Student+Activities

== Students, here is everything you will need to know in order to make it through your journey in space! Follow these directions and get ready for our adventure though the Solar System this week! ==

__Day one:__

 * 1) We will start off the day watching the "Milky Way Galaxy" brain-pop as a class on the projector.
 * 2) After watching the brain-pop you will take a 10 question quiz. Try your best to think back to the video for the answers! You will respond to the quiz questions by using your iclicker.


 * 1) Next, we will watch the "Solar System" brain-pop.
 * 2) Then, you will take another 10 question quiz.
 * 3) After the videos, we will watch a Prezi presentation as a class that will go more into detail about the characterisitcs of each planet.
 * 4) Once we are done with all of this, we will go to the computer lab.
 * 5) In the computer lab, you will use Kidspiration to create a Venn Diagram, comparing and contrasting the inner and outer planets.
 * Here is the word bank, place these words in the appropriate area in the diagram:
 * small
 * no rings
 * gas
 * very dense
 * less dense
 * spin slow
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">have gravity
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">spin fast
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">many moons
 * <span style="font-family: georgia,serif;">few moons
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">solid
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">rings
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">huge
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">spherical
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">orbit a star
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">have gravity
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">have a core



__<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Day 2: __

 * 1) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">As a class, we will watch the "sun", "moon", "asteroids", and "comets" brain-pops.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">After each video, you will take the 10 question quiz, responding with your iclicker.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">We will then go to the computer lab and you will have another assignement using Kidspiration.
 * 4) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">You are going to make a web that will serve as a diagram of the solar system
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Here are your instructions:
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">The middle of the diagram will be the sun
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">The web must include and label: the sun, 8 planets, the moon, asteroid belt, and Kuiper belt.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Place these objects in the appropriate area compared to where they are in the real Solar System. For example, the planets located closest to the sun should be the planets closest to the sun in space
 * 1) <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">If time permits, we will wrap up this unit in a fun way! You can either chose to play space related computer games, or explore space related apps on our classroom iPads.
