Space Research Unit:


STEP 1   GATHER INFORMATION
Get to know your planet.  Read as much information about the planet as you can find.  You will need a minimum of two resources. You can use our classroom library, the media center, the Internet, or your own books.  As you’re reading about your planet, take notes on key information.  This will be part of your grade.  Keep track of the sources you use, because you will need to create a works cited page as well.  You will have time in technology class to work on the research.
