During their unit on the science Space Module, Mrs. Plotner’s third grade class at East Petersburg Elementary  compared the sizes of the planets and their distance from the sun.  The children made a paper model of a planet representing its relative size to the other planets and researched the planet.  Fact sheets were completed by the students and used to write a paragraph on the planet.  They then used a digital camera to take the pictures of the student-made planets.  Using IPhoto, Garageband, and Keynote, the class prepared a digital storybook on the planets which is now a Quicktime movie so it can be easily shared.
