Components of the Universe


Through this website students are able to create a poster which conveys components of the universe. Students can make a poster in groups however they wish in a creative format in order to address the major features of the universe. Using PosterOven is one of the ways this can be done as well as using Microsoft Publisher. This activity can be done after students have researched the topic using a variety of resources. Once completed students can present their posters to the classroom and demonstrate their understanding of “What is in the universe”.
