While intergalactic travel may never be feasible, what would it be like to step foot on a planet orbiting a distant star?
In this studio you are going to gather information on some of these distant worlds and
describe how life there might be different than what we know here on Earth.

To the left is our West Ada Academies Learning Cycle. This course is designed with content that fits into one of five categories: Engage, Explore, Practice, Apply, and Reflect. You will move through the stages of the learning cycle as you engage in the studio's driving questions, and then learn, practice, and apply the target skills listed above. When you get to the apply stage, you will make a presentation or use another method to show what you know. Finally, at each Milestone and again at the end of the studio, you will reflect on your project and what you have learned.
Throughout the course you will see these two icons. They will tell you whether you are able to complete each assignment individually, or whether it must be done collaboratively (with a partner or group).
