For our project, students will take their knowledge of our solar system and create a 3-dimensional model of a planet assigned to them. The planets should be relatively proportioned to any moons the planet may have. The planet should be clearly labeled in some way. This is a project meant to not only see how students view the solar system, but to also showcase their creativity. Students are encouraged to use color and to get creative while learning. This project is worth 200 points and deadline for submission is December 5, 2012. Each student will have to present their project to the class, so they should come prepared to discuss how their 3-D planet model was created and be able to tell facts about the planet.

This rubric has been designed to assess student's knowledge, comprehension and accuracy of the phases of the moon after our lessons.

Research an influential African American and find out 3 important features about what makes this person stand out. Recreate a portrait of the person using any material but an actual photo.

Students are selecting an ocean animal, researching, and writing a report about their animal and designing a poster to aid them in their presentation. The presentation should tell about where their animal lives, what their animal eats, what their animal looks like, and what the adaptations to the habitat are. Students may write their report notes on index cards, or use their posters to help them remember the important facts about their animal during their presentation.
