Introduction
For our first project in the lab, we will be researching another planet in our solar system and writing home about it! Use these three websites to fill in the worksheet I have given you. You and your partner should look up DIFFERENT facts and share with each other.

The Internet Resources

Astronomy For Kids - Great general information on our solar system. You will find almost everything you need for our project on this website!
Nine Planets - Use this site to research the name of a spacecraft that actually visited or flew by your planet.
Your Weight on Other Worlds - How does gravity affect your weight? Find out by seeing what yo would weight on our solar system neighbors. You will be shocked and amazed!
