Lesson Descriptions:

Informational Text: Students read about all the ways that celestial bodies can be compared, such as distance from the Sun, diameter, atmosphere depth, axis tilt, etc. After reading the article, students answer text-dependent questions on a corresponding worksheet.

Online Activity: Students will access a website that shows just how far apart the planets in our solar system are. Students will follow directions to scroll through the solar system to answer questions.

Poster Project: Students follow simple step-by-step directions to create a (really long!) poster of our solar system. All size and distance calculations are provided.

Data Analysis Stations: Students will rotate through 18 stations. Each has a card with information, data, and one question. Students will use the provided information to answer the question in the claims and evidence format.
