Introduction
The Solar System. Our solar system consists of an average star we call the Sun, the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. It includes: the satellites of the planets; numerous comets, asteroids, and meteoroids; and the interplanetary medium.

Process
The solar system consists of a central star, the Sun, and all of the smaller celestial bodies that continuously travel around it. The smaller bodies include eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, which are themselves orbited by more than 140 moons. (Only Mercury and Venus have no moons.) In addition, the solar system contains millions of rocky asteroids and billions of icy comets. All of these objects are held together in a group by the Sun's gravity.
Evaluation
Students will be place in groups and will be asked to do a research paper on the planets and present it in class.
Conclusion
This class was designed for you to learn about the Solar System. Now that everyone has an understanding of the planets, they will be able to move up in their life.
Reflect back on what you knew about the Solar System before you started this class. Hopefully you have learned a lot and will continue to learn about the sun, moon, and stars that go with the Solar System, and deeply explore the Earth.
