WELCOME TO OUR SOLAR SYSTEM WIKIPAGE! <3 FIG NEWTONS Each 6th Grade Core and Each 6th Grade Team in Our Science Class is responsible for creating their own Space related program. Teams were chosen and names were created.

These are the requirements the students are expected to reach, but are responsible for how they use the information!

WE Hope you enjoy your search and learn something from each team! They are Great Kids and Smart/Creative Kids!! Welcome to the Journey!

Please post an email and tell us what you think!?!?!?

The Project: During the next few weeks you will be working with your partner(s) by developing a wiki presentation on your idea of space! Teams are already established and ideas have been thought of! Here are the guidelines I’m looking for, but expect each of you to provide as if you were teaching!!!!! Like I said this is a student led classroom, SOOOO! Show me what you GOT!!! Each Team is responsible for:


 * Creating your own Solar System, Planet, Moon(s), Galaxy, Space Station or a combination of all. You decide how much work you want to put into this project! Remember I give great rewards for creativity and hard work!


 * Develop a Community (people/aliens, etc) on your “Planet”


 * There are 3 elements I am looking for in this project: 1 is using some common vocabulary used when talking about space and the solar system (Remember you’re teaching this to others, so like all things you learn there is usually key terms to understand). Ex: Universe, Rotation, revolution, constellations.


 * Be creative when you develop something. For example: in our solar system we have planets, comets, asteroids, moons, sun, black holes, stars (constellations).

> > > > > > > [] > > Finally, have a great time! Work together! This is your responsibility. Remember 3 grades: 2 test grades, and 1 Presentation/Group Activity grade!!!! May be the best thing ever!!!!
 * You will develop information about your place(s) (so if someone needs to facts to pass a test/quiz they can study, by looking at your wikipage).
 * 1) Examples: How far are the planets from each other, what galaxy is it in, does it revolve or rotate, does it have moon, is it a moon, what makes it a planet…YOU GET THE POINT!!!!!!
 * Can people live there or is there no life, or is the a special reason why people(aliens) live there.

If you’re allowed to use my flip camera (permission slip). You can record stuff for your wikipage to upload it!

Show me what you want to quiz people on, and have the answers to the questions. Create a quiz on your discussion board for your page for other students to take, or just post it on the wiki (you decide).Do not post the answers to the question on the page! You want your "students" to learn!:)
