Today, students read the article Planetary Paparazzo in their Exploring Space workbook (pgs. 11-13). This article talks about the MESSENGER space probe now orbiting Mercury. They answered questions about the article.
Next, students read pgs. 15-17, NEAR Shoemaker Mission to Eros, Exploring Space workbook. The article presented the results of the mission that was completed in February 2001. Their assignment was to write a one page report about the NEAR mission.
In the afternoon students who haven’t completed the Comet Cinquain assignment (Exploring Comets II workbook) completed that assignment. Students also began the Comet Trading Cards assignment (pg. 13) in the Exploring Comets II workbook. Students select three comets and make a trading card for each comet, drawing a picture of the comet and writing information about the comet on the back of the card.
