Welcome to Celestial Canvas: Design Your Own Planet!

With this project pack, your students will embark on a cosmic journey where their imagination knows no bounds. Let them unleash their creativity and shape a world that reflects their unique vision. While students get to create their own planet, they’ll also go on a learning journey of the current planets in the solar system and their appearance and facts to then brainstorm ideas for their own planet.

The parts that are included in the pack are:

• Planet design rubric
• Planet brainstorming template
• Main planet details of their planet including: name, location, temperature, color and weather
• 6 interesting facts
• About any life form on their planet
• Appearance of their planet
