The Earth and Our Solar System

Today, my 3rd graders became researchers.... We started a unit on the solar system. We talked about the earth in relation to its location in the solar system, the causes of day, night and systems. We also talk about the growing advancement of technology in the space age. After a lengthy discussion as a whole group, we broke up into pairs and used our iPads to research facts about our unit. Students used the NASA, planets, and Science 360 apps. They thoroughly enjoy talking about our earth and how things evolve.
