Lesson Six

Have you ever wondered if there is life on other planets? If you could live on another planet, where would you live? Scientists are constantly looking or signs of life and the video on this site tells you more about how they are doing this.

What would you pack for a trip to outer space? Remember that everything you pack has an impact on the environment inside your spaceship, and space for garbage disposal is limited.

On the Google Apps site you created for journaling in this course, please tell me what you now know about Planets.

Create a new journal entry titled: Planets

In a two or three paragraphs, please answer the following questions:
  • What is a planet?
  • How are planets organized in our solar system?
  • What divides the Inner Planets from the Outer Planets?
  • How are the inner and outer planets different from each other?
  • Which planet would you like to live on, and why?
