Lesson 11 – Student Worksheet Planetary Trading Cards The nine planets of our solar system have different characteristics because of their composition (what they are made of). They have different colors and different features because of their rocks, their atmosphere (air) and their temperatures. For this lesson, you will find out about the different characteristics of the nine planets in our solar system. 1. Using a variety of sources, find the planetary facts listed on your Planetary Trading Cards. 2. Go to the Student Place, Mission Prep. and connect to the Celestia Exploration Activity to find the planetary facts. Click on any planet to begin your research. Find more cool facts by clicking on the "constellation" link at the top page to explore the Solar Exploration site. 3. Make the Planetary Trading Cards and color the planets and major features of the planets in the space provided. You will be using these cards to construct your class Planetary Poster and you will also be using the poster and the facts for your mission work. It is important that you do a good job!!
