In this unit we focused on space. We learned all about stars, planets, galaxies meteors, asteroids, and much more. Another great thing that we learned is how to work on a project with another person without ever working or seeing each other face to face. As a team we made different comics and exported them into a wiki to create one outcome project. It was a lot of work but very rewarding in the end.
