Your job is to create a brochure that would convince others to travel to your planet or other object in the solar system (i.e. the sun, a moon, the asteroid belt, etc.). You should include some basic facts about your planet, what people could do if they choose to vacation there, and what adaptations you will provide for them so that they can survive. You are also welcome to make a model of your planet to go along with your brochure.

You will be exploring the life cycle of a star by writing down the various phases of a star's life on one side of a star cut-out, and creating a comic or story on the other side about the day in the life of a certain phase of that star, i.e. "a day in the life of a white dwarf". Be sure to use your research to present the most accurate information and include detail in describing the life of a star. For the story or comic, be creative and have fun with it! Use the rubric to guide you for this project.
