Planet Project

Planet Project

  You and your partner will be creating a scale model of your planet to be put on display.
Research your planets, including their diameter, radius, period of rotation, average distance from the sun, period of revolution, and number of moons, composition, atmosphere,  and any additional information, and prepare to present what you've learned during the final building of the model. Each student will be creating a planet flipbook that will include information from your presentation about your planet.
