These modules are based on the work of Jamie McKenzie and his model, the Research Cycle.

The Planetary Adventure modules were created for 5th graders. This project takes approximately three weeks with 2-3 one hour visits to the computer lab during the first two weeks. Along with on-line sources, books are an important resource in helping students make their decisions.

Teachers may want to print a copy of these pages to help organize their planning.
