solar system

Karen,
Raid your school library for books about the planets. You might have to go to the local library as well. Put these books at your science center as resources. Now create a sheet to photocopy with an outline of
a planet at the top (just a large circle) and room for fill-in-the-blank information at the bottom. The fill in part should read something like this:

Planet: _______________
Order from sun: _________
Diameter:_______________
Number of moons (or satellites): ______________
Something interesting I discovered about this planet: ______________________-

You can make these fill

ins easier or more difficult depending on your students. At center time students choose one planet and color in the circle to look like its photos. Then they search the books to fill in the information about their planet. We keep our finished sheets in a manila file folder that we turn into the cover for a planets book once we have done all 9.
