Hands-on learning is one the most engaging learning environments. With the 8th grade End-of-Instruction containing 47% of questions about the Solar System Unit, it is crucial that students are engaged and focused on the content of the unit.

As a result of a hands-on learning unit, students can increase their understanding of the solar system while increasing their chance to score proficient or above on the end-of-instruction. Students will also engage in critical thinking,
