1. Analyze problems and solutions
for living in Space.
2. Visit the International Space
Station for background information for building
a module in Space and to answer your questions about problems of living in space.
3. Create a Word document to provide solutions to your problems for living in space
and for interesting facts about the International Space Station.
3a. If you fail to complete this part of the project,
you must stop your mission and continue to read, take Cornell notes on chapter 17, section 1, 2, and 3, answer the study guide
questions, and answer the assessment questions at the end of the chapter. You must outline your facts then use those facts
to create a poster or a PowerPoint which includes the facts you learned about the planets and take an assessment on March
17.
4. Complete an Internet search and gather information on ALL of the planets, moons,
and on asteroids, meteors, and comets. Then you may decide where to build your Space Vacation Module.
5. Make data tables (one data table for each set of information) to
show comparisons of the length of years, the length of planet days, the diameter, the average distance from the Sun, and the
gravity on the nine planets. Use the data to make at least two graphs. Use whichever graph you think reflects each set of
data.
6. Complete a “Clean Water” lab activity.
7. Select your final destination. Create a model of the planet and design a space
vacation module near or on that planet.
8. Provide a persuasive argument for your design and proposed site. This means you
have to discuss why you chose your site and provide evidence as to why the other planets were not a better choice.
9. Present your final product on a "Talk Show"—Be
prepared to be interviewed on a talk show and to present your persuasive argument and layout.
