Comparative Planetology. Roles: Scribe (takes notes on the group’s activities), Proposer (proposes explanations to the group), Skeptic (points out weaknesses in proposed explanations), Moderator (leads group discussion and makes sure everyone contributes). Activity: This chapter advocates learning about how planets work by comparing the planets in general, as opposed to studying the individual planets in great depth. Compare this approach with any previous study you might have made of the planets—for example, in grade school or an earth sciences class—by making a list of advantages and any disadvantages of the comparative approach. Then describe in a few sentences how a comparative approach might be used in a completely different field, such as another branch of science or social science.
