Students in Mrs. Dooley's 5th grade science class recently worked on a project to gather evidence to support an argument that the apparent brightness of the sun is dependent upon an observer's distance from the sun.
In this activity, students constructed a model solar system and gathered observations of the sun's apparent brightness (using a flashlight) from each planet within their model. They used those observations as evidence to support a claim about which planet is best suited to explore with a solar-powered planetary rover.
