Earth and Beyond

This term for inquiry we have been focusing on the topic Space. This week we did our second rotation. Previously I have been with Mr Olgivie. Currently I am with Mrs Anderson. Previously we have been learning about the planets in our Solar System. We collaborated, while completing this activity. To complete this activity we built our prior knowledge, by writing notes down about what we already knew. We then actiavted onto our prior knowledge, by watching a video. 

Google Earth Planets

This term for inquiry our topic is based on Space.  Since we are studying about the Solar System, Mr Johnston came into our class and taught us a heap of information about Space, by using Google Earth. Google Earth is a similar site to google maps, but instead you can measure from a distance. To complete this task we were to, start from a specific place and measure the distance, by using the meters of each planet. Victoria, Nyjah, Marieta and I worked collaboratively to get this done. We started from the our school theater. The red lines are the distances from our school. The yellow pin shows where each Planet from our school is stated. I found it interesting that the Earth was located at near our school at Dunkirk Park.
