My favorite assignment was the Solar System slides. Doing the slide made me learn and discover new things about the planets in our galaxy.
In Science we have been learning about Astronomy and Non-contact forces! Students have studied the solar system, analyzed the planets, and created models of the solar system and Earth-sun-moon system.
