Transcript Solar System Booklet

Solar System Booklet
Note: The information for Mercury to Neptune was
available in the textbook, and is not listed in this
presentation. Information on the Asteroid Belt, Kuiper
Belt, and Comet are identified in the last 3 slides of
this presentation.
Instructions:
1. Put your name and period on the page marked “SUN”
2. Look up each planet or solar system part in the textbook.
3. Use the data in the text to complete the information needed in the Solar
System Booklet.
4. Copy the picture of the solar system part onto the correct page of the Solar
System Booklet.
5. Color the part so it looks like the pictures, neat and colorful.
6. Cut out the pages, place in order from the Sun outward. Staple along the lefthand edge to make a booklet
7. Assignment is due Friday, April 8
