Earth to Uranus instructions

Task: write a set of instructions on how to get from Earth to a planet of your choice.

WALT:

- a chosen planet’s location in the solar system.

- a chosen planet’s distance from earth.

- planets you will pass by to get to the chosen planet.

- obstacles that may be on the journey, e.g. Atmosphere, moons... 

I was an apprentice.  

I’m beginning to communicate about my inquiry learning.

Next time I need write instructions instead of facts.
