This solar system research project is a favorite of my students every year! Similar to literature circles, students work in cooperative learning groups. Each student chooses a role or "job" to complete for their planet. There is a ton of flexibility with how you use this solar system project, but I have included directions exactly how I have implemented it in my classroom. Check out the product preview for a close look!
What's included for each of the 7 Jobs:
Job Description Page (with examples)
Student Work Organizers & Templates
CCSS Aligned Rubric for Grades 3-5
Research Record (if you would like student to cite sources)
Whole Class & Small Group Assignments Organization Pages
If you need any adjustments to the included ELA Common Core aligned rubrics, or if you would like me to add a rubric for another grade level, please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.org
