To find out more about our central idea, Our home planet differs from others in our solar system, we thought it would be a good idea to visit the Grade 6 class. They have just finished their space unit so they are experts on the planets in our solar system!

Before we went, we brainstormed relevant research questions:

We then went to see the Grade 6 class. First, they gave us a tour of the solar system model they made.

Then we were assigned planet experts. These experts helped us complete compare/contrast diagrams of a planet and our Earth.
