Third Graders Explore Space

Third Graders Explore Space


The third graders read about the workings of the universe and conducted science lab experiments to understand orbits, rotation, revolution, moon phases, meteors, and eclipses. The final project was to design a travel brochure about a planet. Students researched to find the chemical make-up of their planet, the length of a day and a year, the size, and the Greek or Roman orgins of the name. The resulting brochures are out-of-this-world!
