PLANETS POWER POINT PROJECT



PLANETS (and their moon’s) POWER POINT PROJECT

OBJECTIVE

The students will:

a) use websites and text resources to gather information about a planet or its moons

b) plan seven slides for a slideshow presentation using a power point template

c) present their assigned planet/moon

DIRECTIONS

1. You will be assigned a different planet or moon from your classmates.

2. Using the library resources and internet you will research their planet or its moons. Listed below are some websites you may use, and you may use your textbook.

3. Use the power point story board to plan the slideshow.

4. Make sure to follow the EXACT format of the story board.

5. You will then present their slideshows to the class. You must bring your PP slides on a flash drive or email them to me.

6. During the presentations you are to complete a table of facts about each planet.

7. You will be graded on a predetermined rubric (refer to back of paper).

8. EACH slide should have a picture

9. Overall design counts, so create a creative project!

10. Presentation counts, so be prepared when you present – do NOT read the slides!
