801 Integrated Algebra

Recently we have learned about scientific notation and it’s application in the field of astronomy.
Your task is to design a travel brochure to advertise a planet in space using actual facts that you have
researched. Your brochure should describe at least 5 different facts about the planet you are promoting
(max/min temperature, distance from Earth, surface area, etc.) and your mathematical/scientific facts
should be supported by your explanation and “sales pitch” on why the planet you picked should be
visited.

Your grade for this project will be based on the following rubric.
