Ubd Template Imaan (1st Draft)

The document outlines a 6th grade unit plan on space exploration. It includes standards, understandings, essential questions, and objectives for students to learn about the solar system through hands-on activities like creating planet models, simulating the moon's phases, and researching planets in groups to create an informational poster. A culminating project would be for students to design a NASA recruitment advertisement applying their new knowledge.
