Young scientists explore meteors, and comets by reading a fascinating passage in the plan, then answering 13 questions about them. Then, learners perform a WebQuest and learn amazing things about gravity, robots, and black holes. The website link is embedded in the plan, as are the questions that must be answered. Two very good activities in one nice lesson plan!
