Center for Math & Science Education University of Arkansas My Very Own Planet Book Lesley Merritt Science Specialist Center for Math & Science Education University of Arkansas (479) 575-3875 lmerritt@uark.edu Books were created using AccuCut Sun & Earth Book diecuts.

This PowerPoint contains two separate book suggestions This PowerPoint contains two separate book suggestions . If AccuCut Earth and Sun book dies are available, print the pages and use these to cut out the cover and info pages. Because the Earth and Sun dies are different sized pages, both page formats have been provided for easier printing and cutting. The Earth book front/back die may be used if the content will be a comparison of the Earth to the other planets. The Sun book front/back die may be used if the content will be a solar system facts’ book. If the Earth and Sun dies are not available, simply print the books and have the students cut out the pages. The cover page (which is slightly larger) may be printed on heavy colored paper. Edit planet content, if needed, for specific class requirements. Printing Tip In order to make the pages as large as possible first go to “Print Preview” and under Options check “Scale to Fit Paper”.

Haumea can be found in the outermost part of the solar system and has two moons, Hi’iaka and Namaka. Makemake can be found in the outermost part of the solar system (just beyond Pluto) and has no moons. Eris is the most distant object in the solar system and has one moon, Dysnomia.
