Here are some websites with really great, fun and interesting activites about the planets! Please take a look at all three because as an astronaut, it's very important to know as much as you can about outer space!
Click on the picture to blast off to the activities!
NASA Astro-Matic 3000

This activity is right from NASA's website! This mission is for you to explore how much you would weigh and how old you would be on every planet in our Solar System!
Make A Solar System

This activity from KidsAstronomy.com allows you to create your own Solar System! You pick the planets, their location and if you want comets to invade! Make sure you put the right combination in otherwise the results can be disaturous!
Mission To Mars!

Would you be able to pack for the long 9-month journey to Mars? This expolration helps you to learn about what you should pack, and what you would need to survive on the Red Planet!
New York State Learning Standards
Standard 5: Technology
Students will apply technological knowledge and skills to design, construct, use, and evaluate products and systems to satisfy human and environmental needs.
Energy and matter interact through forces that result in changes in motion.
5.1c The force of gravity pulls objects toward the center of Earth.
Math Standards
Measurement & Data 3.MD
Solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of
objects.
1. Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving
addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram.
2. Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and
liters (l).1 Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are
given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the
problem.2
