The Stars and Our Solar System

Our classroom will be transformed into a museum hall as everyone brings in exhibits and demonstrations about one of the following Earth Science topics we've studied:

a. The number, size, color, and patterns of stars
b. Comparison of planets to stars to include appearance, position, and number in the night sky
c. An explanation of why the patterns of stars in a constellation appear in the same locations in the night sky, but planets can be seen in different locations at different times
d. The use of technology for observing distant objects in the sky
e. Day/night cycle of the Earth
f. Sequences of the phases of Earth’s moon
g. Revolution of the Earth around the sun and the Earth’s tilt to explain seasonal changes
h. Relative size and order from the sun of the planets in the solar system

Can't wait to see all the creative intelligence behind every display!
