During this unit, we'll be learning interesting information about one of our biggest mysteries, the Solar System. We'll be learning about each of the nine planets during our time in the unit. You'll get to choose your favorite planet and do some research and come back and teach information about that planet to the rest of the class. You'll be the expert!!! We will be doing a fun project that will give you the opportunity to creatively go further in explaining your favorite planet through art, skits, or PowerPoint. It'll be fun and you'll have some power to show some of your talents. We'll have a chance to learn contrasts in the planets and do a short report to explain your findings. When we are done, we'll have a few more answers to life outside of Earth as we know it. The students will be able to identify the nine planets in order that they rotate around the sun. They will also know information about their planet that they had to research. :
In the final project they will have to come up with their own materials and tools to use. The Process To accomplish the task, what steps should the learners go through? Use the numbered list format in your web editor to automatically number the steps in the procedure. Describing this section well will help other teachers to see how your lesson flows and how they might adapt it for their own use, so the more detail and care you put into this, the better. Remember that this whole document is addressed to the student, however, so describe the steps using the second person.
Learners will access the on-line resources that you've identified as they go through the Process. You may have a set of links that everyone looks at as a way of developing background information, or not. If you break learners into groups, embed the links that each group will look at within the description of that stage of the process. (Note, this is a change from the older WebQuest templates which included a separate Resources section. It's now clear that the resources belong in the Process section rather than alone.) In the Process block, you might also provide some guidance on how to organize the information gathered. This advice could suggestions to use flowcharts, summary tables, concept maps, or other organizing structures. The advice could also take the form of a checklist of questions to analyze the information with, or things to notice or think about. If you have identified or prepared guide documents on the Web that cover specific skills needed for this lesson (e.g. how to brainstorm, how to prepare to interview an expert), link them to this section. Evaluation
Conclusion At the end the students will be able to name the planets of the solar system in which they rotate around the sun. They will also know some information about each planet. Example: They will know how many moons are in Jupiter's orbit. Credits & References www.solarview.com
