== Imagine you have left Earth and travelled to a planet of your choice. The planets include Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune (When you start your research some websites will show that Pluto is still a planet, this is incorrect. You might wonder why Pluto isn't a planet anymore, click on 'Pluto' for a video explaining it). When you arrive at your planet what is different? How is your planet different to Earth? Is the time different? Is the weather the same as Earth? You need to research and use your imagination to present to your class members, teachers and parents. ==

== When you have all your information on your chosen planet you need to create a PowerPoint presentation. If you need some help creating a PowerPoint click on (PowerPoint) to get some help. In your PowerPoint you need to present what you saw on your planet and how it is different from Earth. You will need at least six slides. When you have finished we will have a presentation day where you will show off your PowerPoint's to your class mates, teacher and parents. ==

Task Two
== There are some helpful websites located on the resources page to help you understand the solar system (We will be going over the solar system in class). Find some information on your planet. In class you will be given a worksheet that will keep all your information together. ==

Task Three
== When you are happy with all your information create a PowerPoint presentation. Be creative and use your imagination! Remember to have facts about your planet but you can also create some of your own fun facts to make it interesting for your audience. If you want to add sounds and animations you may. If any students need some help to do this click on 'Animations' and there will be a video. ==

Task Four
== When your PowerPoint is finished you will need to hand your worksheet into your teacher. We need to see the information you've collected. Finally you and your partner will stand up at the front of the class (Don't be nervous, it will be fun!) and you will show off your awesome PowerPoint! ==
