6th Grade Solar System Model PBL

So it looks like this is it, our last project. So far you guys have done amazing. I have been very impressed by the work you all have put in. Since we will only be fifth graders for about 30 more days, I have chosen a sixth grade project to finish out the year. The project will be to create a model of your choice of our solar system. You will have to choose the one that your group feels best shows how the solar system is arranged and works. You will also be expected to describe the advantages and disadvantages of your model. Here are some resources:

You will be expected to teach it to the class. Thereby making what was a weakness, a strength. Here is the TEKS length:

STAAR Prep!!!

We have 24 days to get ready!! We WILL BE READY!!! This is the time to get serious and focus on our weaknesses rather than our strengths! It is time to take what we know the least about, and make it familiar to us. We will be focusing a lot on vocabulary. There should be no word that we do not understand!! So get ready!!!
