This is called :Exploration of the Solar System". It is a packet students put together investigating each planet, as well as asteroids, comets, meteorites, and space shuttles.
Using this in my classroom the websites I would find most useful are:
http://www.kidsastronomy.com/index.htm
http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/kids/
It might also be fun to have students make models of the universe, do presentations for the class about what they learned (again they could make powerpoints or prezi's), or write their own "book" about the solar system once they have gathered information and facts about the different planets and objects in space.
Good Luck and have fun! Have more ideas? Post in the comments below.
