Introduction:
 In this activity the students will be looking at all the different planets in our own solar system and then they will be creating our own solar systems.

Task:
The students will fill out the worksheet while reading through the planets web site and then be able to apply what they know from our own solar system in creating their very own solar system. Knowledge, comprehension, application, analyze, synthesize, and evaluation will all be covered in this lesson.

Process:
The Students will read through information about the planets in our solar system and fill out the worksheet that goes along with the reading. Then they will work on the final project which is to design their own solar system following the directions given and then present them to the class. Then they will evaluate themselves as well as their classmates.

Evaluation:
The students should follow the directions for the final project, which the rubric is based off of. The students will be evaluating themselves and each other. The evaluations from the students will be averaged.

Conclusion:
The students will learn about the different planets in our solar system and then apply that in creating their own solar system. Some further questions could be: 1) What other characteristics could be used in describing the planets besides the ones that were discussed? 2) Are there any other solar systems out there that exist now? 3) Is there anything else that we should have incorporated in this lesson?
