Week #14

I found a lesson about the solar system and how the stars, moon,other planets effect the earth.  I think this lesson would be useful in the classroom when studying science and the purpose for the solar system.  I could use this lesson in my own class to have the students do a project on different planets and the shape, size, and distance away from the earth.  This would be an educational project for 3rd graders.  NETS that would apply would be:
