Objective: Student will create a project to compare / contrast celestial objects in space. TEK: 6.11 A/B Items to be included… The Inner Planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) The Outer Planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) The Gillian Moons The Asteroid Belt Sun Comets Asteroids Meteor, Meteorites, Meteoroids Dwarf Planets
Information below must be included for the inner and outer planets… Mass of Planet Distance From the Sun Atmosphere (principal gases) Composition (materials planet is made out of) Gravity (amount on planet) Gravitational Attraction to the Sun
Information below must be included for the Sun, Comets, Meteor/Meteorites, Asteroids, The Asteroid Belt … Mass Distance from the Sun (expect the Sun) Atmosphere (principal gases) Composition (Material made out of) Gravity Comet
Information below must be included for the Galilean Moons (info is on each moon) Europa, Callisto, Lo, Ganymede….. Mass (of each of the 4 main moons) Distance from the Planet (measurement and name of planet) Atmosphere (principal gases) Composition (material made out of) Gravity (on moon)
