Unit 4, Lesson 3: Comparing the Planets, Day 1
Learning Target: I can make compare/contrast the features of the inner planets and the outer planets
Class Activities:
1. Students walked in and picked up a Comparing the Planets Handout. There was a do now at the top, asking them to write or draw the process of how planets form. We shared a couple answers, and then I re-explained accretion, etc.
2. We labeled the planets of the solar system on our handouts. In order, from the closest to the sun to the furthest, they are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
3. I passed out a packet of materials to each table. As a group, they filled out the chart on the back of the handout, which organized different features/characteristics of the planets. The students worked hard. We'll finish the work in the next lesson, and then the homework will be the first homework of marking period 3.
Papers handed in today:
Three Reads about the formation of the solar system.
Homework:
For Sections 2, 3, & 4: None (we'll finish the worksheet tomorrow) For Section 1: Finish the chart and the homework sheet
