For science class, we have to make a ';travel-brochure'; of a planet (in my case the dwarf planet Pluto)..Help?

What are some sites where I can find interesting information about Pluto, and ';dwarf-planets'; [reliable sites with the CORRECT information] ?


I'm asking for linkage (lots of it), too pictures or artist interpretations of the former planet, Pluto!


As well, one question for anybody who's nifty in PDN, how do you flip a page your working on, so that it runs horizontally when printed?For science class, we have to make a ';travel-brochure'; of a planet (in my case the dwarf planet Pluto)..Help?
Hello there,





My son has chosen Pluto as well.





We found a very good site for information.





The Nine Planets for Kids, http://www.staq.qld.edu.au/k9p/pluto.htm





You can add parts Like...





Did you know? Then give info on Pluto.





You can do a Survival Needs section and put all the things you would need to travel to Pluto or to be on Pluto.





You can give information on who discovered Pluto.





You can also mention who discovered it wasn't a planet and when etc.





Also, in Pulisher in Microsoft Office you can choose a Brochure Template, which will give you a good start.





I hope this helps.





To those of you who responded that Pluto isn't a planet...





In school they still have old books and it shows Pluto as a planet in our solar sysytem. The children are allowed to consider it a planet for school activities. Instead of giving the kids a hard time just give them the information they need or ignore the question.For science class, we have to make a ';travel-brochure'; of a planet (in my case the dwarf planet Pluto)..Help?
There are no water parks on Pluto. Adapt an Earth-bound water park site to ice parks.





How about Disneyland with Mickey Martian? (and Pluto, of course)

Fishing on Pluto! That's great! Catch 'em already frozen!

http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/ could give you some good information. That is the mission page of the New Horizons spacecraft that is on its way to Pluto. The above links contain the best pictures we have thus far of Pluto since it is so small and far away, but there will be better pictures in 2015 when New Horizons passes through the Pluto system. On the mission page on the left side, there is a link to some interesting facts (P-K bits, short for Pluto and Kuiper Belt) that you might be able to use. I don't know how highly publicized this mission was, since it was launched before Pluto lost its planethood, but it has almost reached the orbit of Saturn, currently.





*The Earth gets more light from a full moon than Pluto does from the Sun. (from the Level 1 Did You Know? page of http://starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/Star鈥?/a>
Sorry to burst your bubble, but pluto is no longer a planet
See link
Hi


You may visit following two links

Thanks
PLUTO IS NOT A PLANET! anymore
I would contact the Hilton Hotels and see what Hotels and Conference Centers they have on Pluto.





Then I would contact the YMCA, and the YWCA and see if they have any good clubs and swimming sites on Pluto.





Next, contact Kentucky Fried Chicken's Main Office in your area and see how many Fried Chicken Stores and Carry Out Places they have on Pluto.





Depending upon where you live, contact your State Game and Fish Commission and ask them about Fishing Permits on Pluto, cost, type required, etc.
I think that sounds like a fun project. try typing pluto in the search engine and check out all the sites it lists. i'm sure you'll find all the information you need and then some.
THIS INFO MAY HELP....

Sorry for a late response, I was off trying to find links for you.


Truth be told, this is going to be literally impossible. We know absolutely nothing about Pluto's physical characteristics. We have no technology good enough yet to view or take pictures of Pluto. The best our technology can do is identify its location as well as its color. If you can, switch planets (I would recommend Mars for this particular project.). I really did my best to find anything I could for you, but all I found was Wikipedia and a couple bad pictures.





BY THE WAY, for everyone saying ';omg n00b plutos not plan3t!!!11';, It is a DWARF PLANET. The two recently discovered planets are ALSO dwarf planets.
