Science 9 – Space Exploration Project
What do YOU want to learn more about?
- Pick a space phenomenon or object
(neptune? titan? Black hole? Dark matter? Red giant star? Supernova?
Andromeda? Quasar?)
- Explore a technology that gives more information
(Hubble? Voyager II? NASA – find resources)
- Summarize information, credit ALL sources, including
photos
Timeline:
- Today and Tuesday in the library
- Due on Thursday: be ready to share with others!
