Students complete the activity Meteoroids, Comets, and Asteroids in the Comets, Meteors, and Asteroids workbook. The assignment is found on pgs 4-7. Complete the Data Sheet on pg. 7. Students cut ¼-inch strip from a 2” wide strip of paper (this represents a scale of a meteoroid). This was glued to the “Meteoroid” section on the Data Sheet on pg. 7. Next, they cut a ¾-inch strip from the same paper (this represents a scale of a comet). This was glued to the “Comet” section. Finally, students take all their strips (four strips, 2” wide and 8½-inches long) and tape them together. Students measure and cut a 40” long strip and glue it on the Data Sheet. This represents a scale of an asteroid. This activity gives students an idea about the differing sizes of these three objects.
In the afternoon, student completed pgs. 6-10 (Ten Facts About Comets and Comet Acrostic) in Exploring Comets workbook.
