What I Know/ What I Want to Find Out A couple weeks ago, in science class, we started talking about Earth and space systems. Ms. Stephenson told us to make a chart about what we knew about Earth and the space systems. Next, I drew out the chart and tried to think of what I knew about the topic.

I wrote all the questions I had under the â€Å"What I Want to Know† column. After writing some of my questions down I realized I was most interested in how the sun affected Earth and other planets.
