Why Choose This Course?
During this short course, we’ll explore the inner planets of our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. We’ll discuss their unique features and the possibility of life on Mars and Venus.
After watching a video with Gavin and Dr. Karl, students will choose an inner planet and create an informative poster, building research skills. Through this project, students will develop critical thinking, analysis, and presentation skills. They’ll then undertake a range of activities, including making flyers for real estate on Mars and space art activities!
Let’s embark on an exciting journey to deepen our understanding of the inner planets and ignite our curiosity about the universe.
