A long time ago, a galaxy formed that contained a solar system with eight planets—or nine depending on who is counting. A collection of 22 lessons has middle schoolers examine the Outer Planets of the solar system. They calculate the weight and density of these planets, build scale models of the system, as well as of the interiors of the planets, create travel guides, and conduct experiments. It's a force-filled study for young Jedis.
