Dear Mr.Moor and Ms.V
In this activity there was only one thing I learned?It was that they don't count planet Pluto as a dwarf planet any more.Comparing and contrasting the planet was easy because on the discovery channel they have shows and documentaries,also in the history channel they had the show called The Universe.So the activity of separating them by mass,gas or rock was a sinch to do.Also I have a lot of intell on this subject.
Sincerely,

dear Mr.Moore and miss .v,
The inner and outer planets in our solar system are different because the inner planets are closer to the sun and the outer ones are far form the sun,and the both are the same because all of them are all planets.I noticed that the gaseous planets are the same planets from the outer planet and same with the rocky planets. I do not see any pattern in the size of the planets. Something thats in our solar system besides planets are,stars and the sun. The scientists use a space station in space to see more about space. I would love to go in space because all the zero gravity and trying to eat there and seeing stars close up to a place where I've never been in. I learned that planets are separated into parts like inner planets and knew thing I already knew was that I knew their is only 8 planets in the solar system.

Dear Mr.Moore and Ms.V,
While we navigated through DE Science I learned a lot about the planets. There are inner and outer planets. The inner planets are, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars/ They only have two or fewer moons. The outer planets are, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus. The have more then ten moons. The inner planets are rocky unlike the outer planets which are made mostly of gases. The inner planets are warmer because they are closer to the sun. Therefor, the outer planets are e sun.colder because they are further away from th The gaseous planets are all of the outer planets. I noticed that all of the gaseous planets have rings around them. There is sort of a pattern with sizes of thee planets. All of the inner planets are smaller then the outer planets. The first four planets are small and the last four planets are big. There aren't just planets in our Solar System. There are also many stars. Scientists use a lot of different types of tools to see space better. They use binoculars and the also use space stations and the space stations take pictures of our Solar System. I thin it would be cool but, scary to go into space. It would be fun because it would be cool to see the planets from far away with my own two eyes. It would kind of be scary because the space shuttle could crash. mainly yes, I would like to go into space.

Dear Mr.Moore and Ms.V,
What is different about the inner and outer planets is that the inner planets are closer by the sun and the outer planets are not closer to the sun. What is in common is that they orbit our star and sun. What I notice about the gaseous planets and the rocky planets is that the rocky planets are all small and the gaseous planets are all huge. I noticed that the pattern is the small planets are on one side and the big planets are on another side. What is in our solar system than the planets are stars and our milky way. What astronauts use is the International Space Station. I would like to go to space because I want to see what it is like up there in space. What I learned is that is new to me is that all the little planets were rocky.

Dear Mr. Moore and Ms.V,
The planets that are closest to the sun are called inner planets.The planets that are farthest from the sun are called outer planets.The thing they have in common is they all have color to them.The bigger planets are the gaseous ones and the smaller planets are the rockiest planets.The bigger planets have lines and the smaller planets have different types formations.The things that are in our soler system is stars and comets and asteroids.Tools scientists use to study space are rockets astronauts and robots.I think I would like to go in space so I can get the feeling of what it is like to float in space.I learned that there are outer and inner planets.What I already new was that the planets are different sizes and shapes.

Dear Mr.M and Miss.V,
Scientist use banakulars to look and see if they can see any planets and they also use a telascope to see if they can see comets and things like that but they can tell if a planet has rocks or not I mean the only way to tell if they have rocks or not is to go to them and see it for your self and heres one thing I would say you got to see it to belive it and since I didn't see it I'm not going to belive it and that is that and the things that I did not see I'm still not going to belive it and the patern the planets are in are well I kinda for got so I have to refresh my brain when I get home and thats all.

Dear Mr.Moore and Ms.V,
The difference between inner and outer planets is that the inner planets are warmer and are rocky, the outer planets are colder because they are farther away from the sun. Some of the inner and outer planets have the same pattern and some of them have the same number of moons. I notice about the gaseous planets are bigger and the rocky planets are smaller and are closer to the sun. I notice that the patterns related to the size of the planets are that the patterns have like a swirl on them. The solar system also includes comets, asteroids,and meteoroids. The tools that scientist use to learn more about the planets is microscopes and other things. I think I would like to go in space because I would like to learn about it more and see the planets in person. I learned the order of the planets and the topic I already knew about was what was the small planets and the big planets. This space activity was really cool and I liked it. I would like to do a project on the solar system and I think we're going to.

Dear Mr. Moore and Mrs. V,
The inner planets are closer to the sun then the outer planets. the inner planets are usually warmer that the outer planets because the inner planets are closer to the sun then the outer planets. The gaseous planets are mostly gas as far as the eye can see. The rocky are rock as far as the eye can see. I think I know that the gas planets are mostly made out of gas and the rocky planets are mostly made out of rock. One patern that I notice is that they go from smallest to largest and then largest to smallest. I learned that Pluto is not a regular planet and that Pluto is a planet.
Dear Mr.Moore and Ms.V
One thing that the planets in the solar system have in common is that they have very warm planet's and they have cold planet's.the gassy planet's are often bigger then the rocky planet's.The planets that are farther away from the sun are mostly gassy.What I learned from this was that the planet's farther away are gassy.

Dear Mr. Moore
about the solar system I learned a lot of great new stuff, Like Pluto is not part of the solar system its from a different solar system. Also there may be life in mars too, That was the scary part cause there must be some living thing there cause theres water their for some reason. Inner plants are closer to the sun so that causes the planets to be hotter. The outer planets are very cold cause their far away from the sun. Also what they have in common is that they all are planets from the solar system. Another reason their not the same is some are gas planets and the others are rock planets. Also some are far away but some are closer like earth. Thats what I learned. Your Friend Karla
Dear Ms.V and Mr.Moore,
I really thought that the activity was interesting.By the way here are the 7 questions.
1.Compare and contrast the inner and outer planets. What do they have in common, and what is different about them?:What the difference is that the inner planets are small.What the same thing that they have in common is that they both are planets.
2.What do you notice about the gaseous planets? How about the rocky planets?:The inner planets are rocky and gaseous.
3.Do you notice any patterns related to the size of the planets?:Yes I do it goes from smallest to medium to largest.
4.What is in our solar system besides planets?:The sun is in our solar system and also the stars.
5.What tools do scientists use to learn more about space?:They use telescopes.
6.Do you think you would like to go in space? Why/or Why not?:I would like to go because I would like to step a foot on the moon.
7.What did you learn in this activity that was new for you, and what topics from this activity did you already know about?:One thing that I learned is that there are planets that are rocky.One thing that i already knew is that Mercury is the smallest.

Dear Mr.Moore and Miss V,
What the inner planets and the outer planets have in common is that both inner and outer planets have 2 or more moons and also that they are planets.What is different from them is that the inner planets are small,rocky,and they have few moons..The outer planets are different from the inner planet is that the outer planets are large,gaseous,and they have more moons.What I notice was that the rocky planets have gas inside them and that the rocky planets are Venus.Earth,Mercury,and Mars.The mostly gas planets are Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus,and Neptune.What they have inside is gas.The rocky and inner planets are the closest to the sun that is why they are warm not like the mostly gas planets that are cold well not that cold but they are not as warm as the inner and rocky planets.The inner and rocky planets sides are less than 15,000km.The outer and mostly gas sides are greater than 40,000 km.Another thing that is in our solar system besides planets is the moons and the sun because is the moons and the sun weren't there we couldn't be ably to see the light and the moon.One thing that is patterns related to our solar system is that when is night if you look at the stars,the stars look like the sun only farther apart.The tools that scientists use to learn more about space are astronaut and compass.I would thing that yes I would like to go to space because I wanted to see what I have learn from the people is real or not real.Another good reason I would love to go to space is because I wanted to see the real planets and moons because I don't wanted to see there pictures in posters I wanted see them for real live.On the other hand is that I wanted go there before I died so I can have a memory about space.One thing that I really like about the activities were that they show me new stuff that was the things that I learn

Dear Miss.V and Mr.Moore
The difference between the inner and outer planets are that the inner one are closer to the sun.Gaseous planets are bigger than the rocky planets.The gaseous planet are far away from the sun and the rocky planets are closer to the sun.The patterns related to the size of the planets are that the smallest and rockiest planets are closets to the sun,and the gaseous planets are far away from the sun.In our solar system there are stars,comets, and asterodes. I wouldn't like to go to space, because it would be to dangrous,and scary.

Dear Mr.Moore and Miss.Vander Velde,
Whats different about the inner planets and the outer planets is that the inner planets are closer to the sun and the outer planets are not close to the sun.The gaseous planets are far away from the sun and they are the biggest planets.The pattern that I notice about the planets is it goes from the smallest planets to the gaseous planets.Our soler system besides planets is stars.What scientist need for the tool is a telescope.I think I will like to go to space because I can see lots of planets and I can explore what I have learned and lots of other stuff.The activity that I already knew about is the gaseous planets and the planets that were inner planets and outer planets.
Love,
Gina
Dear Mr.Moore and Ms.V,
The inner planets are all really small and all of the outer planets are big.The thing that they all have in common is they all orbit the sun and they are different because They are all different in diameter . The gas planets look bigger and more smooth than the rocky planets. The rocky seem to be in a highlight form and the gas planets aren't. A pattern I notice is that the planets are going from small to large in order. Other things in our solar system is moons and stars and the milky way. A tool that the scientist might use is a space station. I would not want to go in space because you might not come back or you can strand in space.A thing that was new for me is that Jupiter was a gas planet and I also thought that Pluto was consider a planet. A thing that I did know is that all of the planets diameter is different and that Mercury,Venus,Earth,and Mars are all rock planets and Earth is the only planet with life.
Your buddy,
Jeffrey
