To understand the importance of converting measurements from English to Metric, converting derived units, and computing areas and volumes, you and your partners must think of examples used in everyday life.

You and your partners must think of events in real life where conversion and area and volume are important. These events need to be important enough for them to be reported on a television newscast. Use the resources, notes, or your own knowledge on these topics. Once your events or scenarios are created, you and your partners will determine what roles each of you will be playing. Newscasts usually consist of anchors, weathermen, sports anchors, camera men, etc. Use whatever characters necessary to create an engaging news show! Creating a script will be your next task. Make sure everyone on camera has lines. Within the script there should be at least 1 mention of converting from English to Metric, 1 conversion of units, 1 mention of v=d/t, and 1 mention of area or volume. The concepts don’t have to be separate. For example you and your partner can mention how a scientist found out how fast a rocket would have to travel to get to the moon by knowing the distance and time it takes to get there. Then you can mention how the velocity in meters per second can be converted to miles per hour. Film your newscast using a video camera and make it as realistic as possible. Use desks, boards, charts, slides, anything! Dress appropriately and have most of your lines memorized. Once your newscast is filmed, import it onto a computer that has iMovie. Once the video is uploaded, use iMovie to add music, sounds, podcasts, pictures, etc. Here is a link on how to use iMovie, (although it depends on the edition).

__Webquest Process for Soc. Studies__ Well done! As researchers of the Earth’s history, you have uncovered the material necessary to inform our M102 planet about the history of their interest in space and current events that happened at the time. Now it is your job to pull from all of the information that you have, and pick the most important things that you feel M102 needs to know. Step One: You and your partners need to decide which parts of information should be presented to the citizens of M102. You have resources and notes that will help you decipher which information needs to be displayed. This information will be presented in a news broadcast form. Step Two: Once you and your group has decided which bits of history about Earth’s space race and events surrounding it should be presented to the people you need to figure out which roles each person in your group will play. Step Three: Once everyone has decided which role they will assume, it is your job to create a script for the section that you are going to be broadcasting. Make sure that when you are creating this that you do the highlights of the history, and don’t get into too much detail. (Think about when you watch the news a night). Step Four: Once you have written your script it is time for you and your group to film your broadcast. Make sure that you are speaking clearly, and are getting to the point. Step Five: Once you have filmed your movie put your film onto the iMovie software, and feel free to edit it however you want. Have fun!

6.) Vote! Which member of your team will read their Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy speech? Make sure the member that is going to be reading their speech is confident in the speech they are reading and is comfortable enough to read it on camera.======

Congratulations! Thanks to the hard work your group has put in, the citizens of Planet M102 know if the Inhabitants of Earth are a threat. Great work!
Congratulations! You have studied the Earth and the solar system the Earth revolves in. Now it is your job to take all of the information and express the information that you feel is important to living in the solar system Earth is a part of.

Step 1: You and your partners need to decide which parts of information should be presented to the citizens of M102. You have resources and notes that will help you decipher which information needs to be displayed. This information will be presented in a news broadcast form.

Step 2: Review how to write a lab report and discuss the importance of writing reports that way.

Step 3: Write a report describing the solar system and what is important for everyone to know about the solar system.

Step 4: Trade your report with another member of your team and discuss the different sections of the report.

Step 6: Fix up your reports and polish them until they are the best quality you can make.

Step 7: Decide whose report was the most professional and well supported to read their part for the podcast.

Step 8: Film the podcast and show how interesting Earth’s solar system really is!

Congratulations! You have created a guide for future explorations and have given the people of M102 an idea of what else there is out in space! ||
