​​​Space Cruise Adventure

Congratulations!You are the proud owner of a brand new spaceship that is capable of super human speed!

You were so excited to get your new super spaceship that you forgot to factor in the cost of the fuel to run the ship.

You have decided that in order to run your ship, you are going to have to find a way to make money while using it so you are going to take tourists on tours of the universe. The cost of the tours should be enough that by taking 10 customers, you can afford the gas for the trip.

​​​You need to do some advertising to get people to come on your ship for your amazing tour but you can't afford to hire some high priced advertising agency.

You are such a do-it-yourself kind of person, you are going to design abrochure or poster that you can use to educate and attract customers.

If you can't get customers, you are going to have to sell your ship!​

Your first job is going to be to gather information for your project. As you work through this you will need to record a detailed list of the resources (books and websites) that you used for your project. You will need to present the following on your brochure​:

1. An explanation of where your trip will be travelling:

-the size and shape and age of the universe

Lots of this information can be found here:

-The position of the planets

2. Information about the items that you will be showing your customers:

Choose at least 5 items from the following list:

black holes​meteorsnova
asteroidsplanetsconstellations​
cometsstarsmoons
-explain what the item is and provide some information about it

-Use websites from​Learn71-

3. Provide a picture of your spaceship and describe how it is designed to help keep your customers comfortable during their journey in space:

-What is the temperature in space?
-What does the air consist of?
- In order to safely land your ship and help your customers feel safe you are going to have to explain what GRAVITY is, and how it works on Earth and at least one other planet that you visit.
- Check out how much you weight on other planets at this cool site:

4. Show all your information in a neat, colourful and exciting brochure or poster that is designed to educate and attract customers.
