Collaborative solar system poster:
The class is divided in groups, each day, one group is going to work on the
poster while the others groups are working in the mobile planets project.
The poster is going to build in based on the solar system organization, with
different textures for each planet while ones of the group are making it for a
time the others components are going to fill the report of the planet,
star.given. Then they are going to change in this sense all of components of
the group could participate in both things.
System planets Mobile
The class is divided in groups, teacher hands out the instructions to be followed
by the students few days before, to create a new system of planets, so students
can collect the necessary materials and information to carry out the activity.
With this in mind, the groups have to organize their own work such as who will
find the different information, who can bring different materials, who is going to
make the report of the project, how they are going to present to the rest of the
class. In other words they have to manipulate the information given and
