7.+Student+Activity+Page

=7. Student page= This is the "launching off" page that your students will use to complete activities, download documents, access links, complete assessments, etc.

__**Brief overview of the project**__: You will be watching two videos to get started on this project. Then you will be doing your own research on the planet you are most interested in and become an expert on that planet. After researching and gathering information you will create a power point presentation in order to "teach" the rest of the class. =Students, please follow each step in the order as follows.=
