Title - Using the Computer to Learn the Planets
By - Ann Marie
Subject - Science, Computers & Internet
Grade Level - 3rd Grade
Prior to Computer Lesson: Review with students the different characteristics of each of the planets.
Materials: A brief description of the planets (or a picture from a science book)
In the Computer Lab: Using either Microsoft word-processing or ClarisWorks, have students "draw" the nine planets using the shapes on the tool panel. Students should try to adjust the sizes of each planet in relation to the others (i.e. Pluto should be the smallest). The students should then go back and add the special characteristics unique to each planet. For example, Mars should be red and have two moons above it. Mercury should have smaller circles on it to represent its craters. Each planet can then be labeled. Students will then have experience of using the drawing tools and a wonderful study guide for their solar system unit!
