NASA @ Home

Today you will complete the NASA @ Home assignment.  Click here to get started.  You will probably need to download Flash Player and allow the ActiveX Controls (since the school computers reset each time another student logs onto the computer).

When you are done, you will diagram the Solar System on the back of your NASA @ Home paper.  Make sure that you label the following parts.

• Asteroid Belt
• Earth
• Jupiter
• Kuiper Belt
• Mars
• Mercury
• Moon
• Neptune
• Oort Cloud (comets)
• Pluto
• Saturn
• Sun
• Uranus
• Venus

You will need a few Solar System diagrams online to complete your composite with all of the 14 required components (listed above).  Here are a couple maps that will get you started:

• Diagram of the Solar System
• National Geographic: Our Solar System
