We started our space unit yesterday. We are doing research using books, informational video clips and the internet. Today we learned about how vast our Milky Way Galaxy is. Did you know that if you were traveling by jet from the earth to the moon it would take you 3 months! If your were to travel by jet from the Earth to Venus it would take 3 years. If you traveled from Earth to Neptune by jet it would take 313 years! To learn more about the planets you can visit BrainPop. The kids in my class know the username and password. Type in planets in the search tool to view short informational video clips about the planets. Thanks to our Washington PIE group for funding this video learning resource! To visit more space related internet sites click here (my educational bookmarks on delicious-space). We are looking forward to our space field trip to Paulucci Space Theater to learn more about space and the solar system! Below is a picture of the earth from space...at night!
