The Universe - Textbook Reading Assignment

Science Class

This week, we will be wrapping up our space unit.  As we do this, let's go back to some of those big ideas about space.  We're going to be using our textbook to investigate the topic more in-depth.  The link has a list of all of the questions.  Your answers will go on a piece of notebook paper, so you don't need to make a copy.

When you are done, post the most interesting thing you've learned during the whole unit.  Tell what it is, why you think it's interesting, etc.  Then reply to others' comments.
