Websites
Space Web Page
While the sites on this web page are suitable for all ages, this page contains links to sites that are very graphic oriented. They are sites that a teacher could lead students through using a projection system, and they are ones that even kindergarten students can navigate independently or with limited teacher support. The content could be used to generate interest, to illustrate, or to explore topics related to space.
Solar System Websites This is a page of links to websites about the Solar System.

These AW 6 Spreadsheet Templates calculate a student's age, weight, jumping height, and jumping distance on other planets and on the MOON. All students need to do is enter the appropriate information for earth and the data for the other planets and the MOON appears. One set of these simply has a photo of the planet and calculates the numbers. The other version calculates and graphs the data.

Another template allows students to drag the planets into their appropriate relationship to the sun (closest to farthest.)
