Overview
The web quest you are about to view was created to go
along with a 4th grade science unit on space. Students
will visit each planet via the internet to gain important
information and facts. In order to ensure that the
students have retained the information needed to
satisfy the standard, they will be required to label a
diagram of the solar system and answer questions
about the planets in a game format.
S4E2: Students will model the position and motion of the earth in the solar system and will explain the role of relative position and motion in
determining sequence of the phases of the moon.
