1. Solar System Booklet Note: The information for Mercury to Neptune was available in the textbook, and is not listed in this presentation. Information on the Asteroid Belt, Kuiper Belt, and Comet are identified in the last 3 slides of this presentation.

2. Instructions: 1.Put your name and period on the page marked “SUN” 2.Look up each planet or solar system part in the textbook. 3.Use the data in the text to complete the information needed in the Solar System Booklet. 4.Copy the picture of the solar system part onto the correct page of the Solar System Booklet. 5.Color the part so it looks like the pictures, neat and colorful. 6.Cut out the pages, place in order from the Sun outward. Staple along the left- hand edge to make a booklet 7.Assignment is due Friday, April 8
