Individual students will research and discover information about an aspect of space we did not explore extensively in our classroom studies: planets, stars, technology, galaxies, etc. may be topics. Students will provide a minimum of 10 additional facts with detailed explanations about their chosen topic. At least one visual should be included in whatever format their final project takes. A verbal class presentation will be made, and neatness and timeliness of work will be evaluated.

Imagine that space travel to other planets is easily affordable and common. As a result, more people have begun to explore other planets. You have just been offered the chance to explore another planet. Which planet would you like to explore? (Do NOT Choose Mars!) • Describe a typical scene of your chosen planet. • Why would you consider going on such a trip? • What would you hope to discover or gain?

The student will create a multiple choice test over a novel they have read outside of class.
