    Planet Travel Brochure

    Guidelines

    Objective: Your mission is to create a brochure to promote one planet in our solar
    system as the “Number One Travel Destination in our Solar System.”

    STEP 1 GATHER INFORMATION

    Get to know your planet. Read as much information about the planet as you can find. You will
    need a minimum of THREE sources. You can use the Internet and/or your own books. As
    you’re reading about your planet, take notes on key information. Keep track of the sources you
    use, because you will need to include at least three cited sources at the back of your pamphlet.

    STEP 2 CONSTRUCT YOUR BROCHURE

    Obtain a sheet of white printer paper. Fold it so that you have three sections in the front and three
    sections in the back. If you don’t know how to make one, watch the video here:
    https://www.wikihow.com/Fold-Paper-for-Tri-Fold-Brochures

    Divide your pamphlet into the following pages:

    Page 1: Cover page:


    Name of your planet, picture of your planet, a descriptive
    phrase about your planet that would make someone want to
    visit, and your name and class period.

    Page 2: One sentence per section:


    1. Position in the Solar System: Where is your planet located
    (for example, Earth is the third planet from the Sun)? How
    far from the Sun does it orbit?
    2. Orbit: How long does it take for your planet to orbit the Sun? (This is one year on
    Earth.) Is its orbit unusual?
    3. Rotation on its Axis: How long does it take for your planet to rotate on its own axis? (This
    is one day on Earth.)
    4. Appearance of your Planet: What does your planet look like? Are there any special things
    on your planet?
    Page 3: One sentence per section:
    1. Size: How big is your planet? How does it rate in terms of the other planets in terms
    of size (is it the biggest, the smallest)?
    2. Mass: What is your planet’s mass? How does its mass rate in terms of the other planets
    (is it the biggest, the smallest)?
    3. Moons: Does your planet have moons? How many? If there are moons orbiting your
    planet, describe them and when they were discovered. Rings: If there are rings
    orbiting your planet, describe them and when they were discovered.

    Page 4: One sentence per section:


    1. Composition of your Planet: What type of planet is it (is it rocky or a gas planet)? What
    is its internal composition?
    2. Gravity: What is the force of gravity at the surface of your planet? (For example, what
    would a 100-pound person weigh on your planet)?
    3. Atmosphere: What is the composition of the atmosphere of your planet? Is it a thick or
    a thin atmosphere?
    4. Temperature: What is the temperature range on your planet?

    Page 5: 3 sentences per section:


    1. Something Special:
    Is there anything special about your planet? This can often be the best part of this brochure,
    taking you off on interesting topics. For example, are there 100year long storms on your planet?
    Are there giant volcanoes? Does your planet have a very tilted axis giving it extreme seasons?
    Have space crafts visited your planet? If so, what have they discovered? Is your planet in an
    orbit with another solar body? BE CREATIVE. (3 sentences minimum)

    2. Then, tell why someone should visit this planet, what they might be able to see or do,
    what they will remember most about their visit, etc. You might want to include things they
    would need to be careful of, what clothes, equipment, etc. to bring.
    Remember, your goal is to persuade travelers to visit your planet because it’s the “Number
    One Travel Destination in our Solar System.” (3 sentences minimum)

    Page 6: Create your works cited page at the back of the pamphlet:

    You will need at least three sources for this project. Include the URL of the website or the
    name of the book that you use for each source.
