SPACE RACE
Enjoy the space journeys created by Room 8 students as they take you on a virtual tour of the planets. Travel through the planets on these student created photostories. After joining their Space Exploration Teams, students researched their planet in books and on the internet. They then carefully chose the photographs from internet sites that best matched the written text of their photostory. Finally, they added their voices to each photo to complete each photo journey. Just go the Inner Planets and Outer Planets pages to start your adventure. Have fun, but be careful to watch out for any meteor showers !!! After listening, don't forget to BLOG your comments about our photostories.
PLANET SONG
You might take a minute or two to enjoy this fun song we learned for our SPACE RACE!
THE PLANETS
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars,
That's what the first four planets are.
Jupiter and Saturn with all their moons
Uranus and a little further out Neptune.
And the furthest of the planets
is the one we all know,
as the iciest and tiny little...Pluto !
In the middle of our solar system is the sun.
Far as we're concerned our solar system's number one.
Hah hah hah . . Of all the other systems
in what we call the Milky Way. Switcharoonie!
The Milky Way is just another of the Galaxies,
Among the million billion trillion other galaxies.
Hah aah aah. What ya gonna do?
It's bigger than me and I'm bigger than you.
WHO CARES?
Good Point! Sing the song Mike!
All the planets in our system orbit 'round the sun.
When the Earth completes an orbit then a year is done.
Whooooooo. It's simple and it's fun!
It's easier than 3, 2,1..
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
(Instrumental)
Ha chi chi cha!
Who oo oo oo oo oo oo
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
And at night when I am looking up at all the stars,
He’s looking up at all the stars.
The ones not twinkling could be Jupiter or Mars.
Not to mention Venus, Uranus, or Saturn.
The Milky Way is just another of the Galaxies,
Among the million billion trillion other galaxies.
Hah aah aah aah. What ya gonna do?
It's bigger than me and I'm bigger than you.
WHO CARES?
And at night when I am looking up at all the stars,
And when he’s looking up at all the stars.
The ones not twinkling could be Jupiter or Mars.
Not to mention Venus, Uranus, or Saturn.
All the planets in our system orbit 'round the sun.
When the Earth completes an orbit then a year is done.
Whoo ooo ooo. It's simple and it's fun!
