3. TASK
You are a team of astronauts
from the NASA on a mission
to another planet of the
Solar System.
4. PROCESS
To do this, first, work in groups of threes and
answer the following questions:
What is the Solar System?
What are its elements?
Now, you’re ready for your next mission.
Choose one of the planets and find out some
interesting facts about it.
5. Look for images, colours, shape and size, its period of
rotation, temperature, number of moons, distance from
the Sun, particular features and any extra information you
may find interesting to share.
Organise these details into a prezi or power point
presentation. Create a slideshow as attractive as possible
about the planet you have chosen.
Here I suggest you some websites to look for the required
information, learn more and have fun.
