4th Grade Solar System Project Due Date: Monday, 1-9-17 State Standards: Earth and Space Systems Goal 4.1: Understand scientific theories of origin and subsequent changes in the universe and earth systems. 4. S.4.1.1: Compare and contrast the basic components of our solar system (planets, sun, moon, asteroids, comets, meteors). Project Objectives: The student will be able to produce a 3 dimensional model, diorama, or game of the concepts learned about our solar system (CH 6.) and demonstrate what they have learned about our solar system, constellations, or phases of the moon, and / or planets. Project Rubrics: Points Model 4 3 Model was turned in Model was turned on time and in on time. complete.

The solar system model, diorama, or game must be student created and constructed out of everyday materials. Families may help students plan, brainstorm ideas and put together their project, but must not do it for them. Students may not buy solar system kits and put them together for their project. The model must be small enough to sit on their desk or be tacked to the wall/hung from the ceiling. Please encourage your student to use everyday items that you may usually throw away or have around the house. This project is not meant to cost you money. It is meant to give students the opportunity to construct a model of our solar system and demonstrate what they have learned in creative ways. It is intentionally open so that students may use their imaginations with minimal restrictions.
