Life Model DirectionsLife Model Directions Choose only one card from the deck. Quietly line up at the door. Quietly follow the teacher to the appropriate place for

the activity. When the teacher says: “Go,” begin talking to your

classmates to find your place in our solar system! If you have been assigned a partner, help your partner

first! Once you think you are ready, stand quietly so the

teacher can check your positions. When the teacher says: “Orbit,” begin circling your Sun! When the teacher calls: “Stop,” stop orbiting and be

prepared to give one fact about your component when the teacher calls on you.
