Scavenger Hunt!

The website I've found today is a Solar System Scavenger Hunt!

In this activity, students are introduced to items found scattered within our solar system. It's up to the students to figure out which planet, moon, etc. it is found on. This requires students to perhaps have some background knowledge or to search the internet for the answers. The site also provides a hint to the answer if they need it. However, they cannot move onto the next question until they get the right answer.

This site can be linked to the Grade 6 Unit on Exploring Space.

This site can enhance student's learning because it gets them introduced to new and interesting facts about various bodies in the solar system. The only thing I would do as a teacher is to provide students with another set of a few websites that would be helpful in searching the information.
