In groups, students develop a short list of multiple choice questions about the solar system.  Groups can add questions pertinent to their topic areas.  Students add Likert scale questions to assess the opinions of the value of ongoing space exploration.  Copied onto flip chart paper.

Each group presents its questions to the class, posting their flipchart paper.  Class as a whole adopts a standard set of questions as the teacher highlights them in response to class support.
