- To discuss the range of possible questions for the project report

- To stimulate student options for the report, and possibilities beyond those mentioned in this activity
 

Teacher outlines some of the possible question areas available to the students:

- What more can I know about a single planet?  What about its geography, atmosphere, and composition?  Its moons?  Its orbit?  Models can be made.

- What is the situation with space travel?  How do we do it, what are its limits?  Where do we go next?  Which countries are involved?  What is the "Space Race"?

- Are there other planets?  Other solar systems?  What have we discovered so far?

- Is space exploration worth the cost?  What else demands the money? (see optional activities 7 and 16)

- What else would I like to know?

- Probable handouts

- Flip charts or presentation software for teacher use

- Continuing participation
