Planetary Science - Big Ideas
- Analyse political, economic, and environmental issues related to the exploration and study of the solar system, and how technology used in space exploration can be used in other areas of endeavour.
- Investigate features of and interactions between bodies in the solar system, and the impact of these features and interactions on the existence of life.
- Demonstrate an understanding of the internal (geological) processes and external (cosmic) influences operating on bodies in the solar system.

Week 1 - please focus on Days 2-5. I have provided you with the following video lessons shown below in cyan font. Any interesting and useful links are shown in green. By the end of the week you should have submitted your G-Class Star infographic, completed and submitted to me your research lab on craters and completed your Kepler's Laws of Motion Lab. If you have completed all of these already you are ahead of the game for this week back. I am going to be putting these into your marks by the start of next week so that you can have a better idea of where your mark stands for mid terms. NOTE**** I have shared with you all a unique folder where you are to add all of your work for the weeks. Please make sure that the work you submit is clearly titled (pictures of written work are just fine) This folder is only shared between the you and myself. If you have already submitted the Labs and Infographic can you please put them into this folder (we are evolving as we go so please be patient)
