I really enjoyed using these lessons. The students understood the information and I was able to add my own activities throughout to easily make it my own.

My favorite part of this was the end of the unit projects. My students got SO creative! Also, we had great class discussions that branched off from each activity - long conversations about the life of our Sun and what things in our solar system might look like in five billion years.
