We have been working a lot with the planets over the past couple of weeks. They were having so much fun that they were surprised to hear that their projects were being graded. They were just under the assumption that they were just having fun. Now if that doesn't make someone's heart melt then I don't know what well. Any way, we spent a lot of time looking in our science books and looking at power points. Some of my students dug out the books from my class library on space and devoured them like there was no tomorrow.
One of the firs things we did was write from a writing stem....
Then we had a chance to create our folders about our planets. We took all of our knowledge that we gained and poured it into these folders or lapbooks.
Below (complements of abctech) you can grab the templete to create your own space lapbook. All you need are some old file folders to fold into thirds and the templete pieces, and you're good to go!
