This project is always a favorite during our Space unit and I hope it is for your class, too! I have my kids vote on their top three choices for a planet to study and then split them up into groups of 2-3. Then, they use their science book and safe searches (such as Bing.com/classroom, kiddle.co, and safesearchkids.com) to gather research about their planet.After I check their research, they use it to create a Storyboard for their documentary. You can use iMovie, MovieMaker, or any video making app to make the documentary. Please let me know if you have any questions! Enjoy!

What's Included:
* 4 research page & a citing source page
* Storyboard example and graphic organizer
* Create an alien extension page
* Space Documentary awards (students can vote on their favorites at your "film festival")
