**Vocabulary**
=Welcome to Your Class Wiki!=

As you move through the Space unit you will find it useful to understand the vocabulary. As a class you will compile a vocabulary list (similar to Wikipedia) to help you understand the concepts.

Simply choose a topic, click in it, click on the Link button at the top of this page and new topic page will be created. You can then add any information (text, pictures, video, etc.) that you know about that topic in its page and save it. You should view each topic, making sure the information entered is correct and edit it as necessary. This site will track the changes that you have made, so be sure to check your facts and reference any material you use from others.

Feel free to add any vocabulary that is not already included. Left click on the spot in the vocabulary list where you would like to insert a word and follow the prompts.
