Student Projects and/or Assignments Appropriate for the Space Unit in Grade 6 Models Students may work individually or in pairs. Create a 3-D model, or use another form of representation to provide information about the some aspect of the grade 6 space outcomes, such as the solar system as a whole, the behaviour of the Earth and the moon, or the cause of seasons. Assessment will be based on evidence of research, accuracy of timeline, originality, effort, and appearance. Possible Outcomes Addressed demonstrate how Earth’s rotation causes the day and night cycle and how Earth’s revolution causes the yearly cycle of seasons (301-19) observe and explain how the relative positions of Earth, the moon, and the sun are responsible for the moon phases, eclipses, and tides (301-20) select and use tools in building models of the solar system that show approximate relative size of the planets and sun, and the approximate relative orbits of the planets around the sun (205-2) describe the physical characteristics of components of the solar system (104-8, 300-23) identify and use a variety of sources and technologies to gather pertinent information about a planet, moon, asteroid, or comet, and display their findings using diagrams, pictures and/or descriptions from recent explorations (105-1, 205-8, 207-2) Unit of Study Notebook Cover Students create a cover design for the Space Unit section of their notebooks. They may do this by hand or using computer graphics software. Assessment will be based on originality, attention to detail, and presentation. Creativity will also be considered. Outcomes outcomes depend on design chosen by the student Space Words Concept Map Students will create mind maps to show linkages and connections among words encountered while studying space, with examples. These words should include terms about space, science, technology, the environment and astronomy. Assessment will be based on connections made, logical linkages, development of a hierarc
