Solar System WWTQuest & WebQuest

WELCOME TO VAST EXPANSE OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM! Strap yourselves in because it's going to be a bumpy, fast ride out of our atmosphere at 3,500 to 17,000 MPH!

Our first stop is going to be Microsoft's World Wide Telescope! Open World Wide Telescope and complete the activities in your activity packet.

Stop number two, is at the NASA Kids' website. Use the links below, in order, to complete the activities in you activity packet.

NASA Kids' Website. Use this site to answer the questions about going back to the Moon and the current International Space Station. (You will also find the Solar System game here!)

Send a holiday postcard to the crew on the International Space Station! Remember to share with them one thing you have learned about the ISS (no toilet humor). Copy and paste your letter into a Word document (BEFORE YOU SEND IT!) to print. Staple it to your activity packet.
