1. Planetary travel brochure
Learning Goals:
Be able to compare and contrast the properties of objects in the solar system including the sun, planets, and moons to those of Earth, (such as gravitational force, distance from the Sun, speed, movement, temperature, and atmospheric conditions).
Learning Target:
Describe the general properties (speed, temperature, atmospheric conditions, rotation, revolution, gravity, & distance from the sun) of specific planets.
Design an advertisement describing the properties of objects in the solar system

Activity:
You will use the information on your data table for the planet of your choice.  Your brochure must include the following information and it must be incorporated into your brochure ALL INFORMATION MUST BE COMPARED TO EARTH!!           Distance from the Sun (AU)           Period of Rotation days/hours           Period of Revolution days/hours           Surface Temperature in degrees C           Atmospheric Conditions   Gravity (compared to Earth)           Other Planet Facts
Be creative!  Use a hook to get your audience to come and visit your planet of choice.  Make the data sound extraordinary but keep the information factual. i.e. Mercury's period of rotation is 59 Earth days long, use this information to your advantage.  'Do you like the warmth of summer and its sunshine, looking for that great tan?  Then you need to come to the planet Mercury, where the sun shines for 59 days straight and never sets.'
