MARS

May 21st, 2009

Parker had yet ANOTHER AWESOME project at school - this one involved the PLANETS! His planet was MARS and he had to complete a report, make a poster and present it. Here is a pic of his poster...it was VERY creative!

Facts I learned about Mars from reading Parker's presentation:

* Mars' name came from the Roman God of War

* Mars is the 4th planet from the sun and is 288 million miles from it (sun)

* Mars' diameter is 6,786 km

* It takes Mars 687 days to orbit the sun

* Mars has a valley named Mariner Valley that could stretch across the U.S.

* You can see Mars without a telescope

* Mars does not have any liquid on it's surface; however, we once thought

there was water there

* Mars has a thin, unbreathable atmosphere...."Do you think Mars is as interesting as I do?" (that was at the end of the report - HOW CUTE!

Parker received a 98% on this project!! You are AWESOME, BUBBA!! Teacher comments: "This was very interesting to read! You wrote great facts and you wrote them using some of your own words. Excellent Job!"
