Planet Invasion

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT Kennesaw, GA Oct. 4 2007 (AP) PLANET EARTH HAS BEEN INVADED by alien life forms of another galaxy. It is your mission to create a new planet on which all of mankind may live.

Your mission if you choose to accept it…….. In groups of 4, you will be responsible for creating a new planet to support human life. Explore each of the existing planets. Choose 1 characteristic from each planet and include it in the creation of your new planet. You will present you proposed planet to the Directors of the Galaxy Development Commission. Which ever planet is deemed most suitable for human life will be the chosen planet. The creators will govern the new planet.

Choose wisely… Good Luck! The fate of all human kind is in your hands. (This message will self destruct in 30 seconds)

Teacher Page Standards Earth Science S4E2. Students will model the position and motion of the earth in the solar system and will explain the role of relative position and motion in determining sequence of the phases of the moon. d. Demonstrate the relative size and order from the sun of the planets in the solar system. S4E1. Students will compare and contrast the physical attributes of stars, star patterns, and planets. a. Recognize the physical attributes of stars in the night sky such as number, size, color and patterns. b. Compare the similarities and differences of planets to the stars in appearance, position, and number in the night sky. c.
