Tour of 2030

Brianna and Paige (:

The whole point of this was for two people to gather information about all of the planets,3 moons,2 small bodies,and to make a fictional star. Each person was paired up with another person from another class. So each person had to share a document over the internet to do the work together and to communicate. The internet was our only tool for this project. Once both of the partners had all of their information done,each partner had to use a program called Comic Life. Comic Life was for using all of the information on the planets,moons,small bodies,and star to make it all into a comic. We had to put every single piece of information on the comic. We hope you enjoy our comic :) and you better like it...because we worked really hard.

8th Grade Science Standards Covered:

4. The structure and composition of the universe can be learned from the study of stars and galaxies, and their evolution.

1. Galaxies are clusters of billions of stars, and may have different shapes.
2. The sun is one of many stars in our own Milky Way galaxy. Stars may differ in size, temperature, and color.
3. How to use astronomical units and light years as measures of distance between the sun, stars, and Earth.
4. Stars are the source of light for all bright objects in outer space. The moon and planets shine by reflected sunlight, not by their own light.
