Pluto

Solar System

In 2006 Pluto was demoted to a dwarf planet; Pluto is so small it is just 1/4 of 1% as massive as Earth.

The solar system consists of the Sun, the eight planets, their moons, three dwarf planets - which includes Pluto, and their four moons and billions of asteriods, comets, meteroids and bits of interplanetary dust.

Jupiter

  • A planet must independently orbit the sun
  • It must have enough mass so that gravity pulls it into a rough sphere shape
  • It must dominant its orbit - it's mass must be much larger than anything else which crosses its orbit.

The task was to create a Prezi discussing the solar system and why Pluto was demoted to a dwarf planet. As a novice to the program, It took me sometime to figure it out I worked through it slowly but surely and found that this is a great tool to use. It is a fresh, new way to present information and ideas. I think that my students' would find the program a lot easier to use than I did and this is a great tool to have students' use for completing homework assignments, as well as for larger presentations of material and information. What would have liked to have done differently, I would use a template format instead of a blank document.
