Why the Solar System? The Solar System is a broad topic that can inspire children and stoke their imaginations on many different levels. As a theme it also provides an opportunity to teach across many areas of the primary school curriculum; as well as science, history, geography, mathematics, english comprehension, visual arts and drama, even P.E. can be brought into lessons based on this.
The Solar System Exploration website by NASA If you have a laptop and LCD projector in the class, show everyone the Solar System Exploration website by NASA. Explain a brief description about our solar system and its elements at the time you present the real representation of such objects. Introduction The solar system is our Sun and everything that travels around it.
There are planets, moons, comets, asteroids, and even dust and gas. All these objects travelling around the Sun are held in the Sun's gravity, making the Sun the center of the solar system. Even though the distances between the Sun and the planets are enormous, gravity is great enough to hold the planets in orbit.
Introduction to Astronomy LESSONS 1-3 the terms universe, galaxy, and solar system. Identify our in order of increasing distance from the sun. Describe three way we know about our universe and solar system.
Identify at least three Evidence of Earth's Movement LESSONS 4-8. Create Playlist 2, a 10 minute playlist in Legends of Learning with 5 assessment questions from the Our Solar System learning objective. Make copies of Our Solar System and Gravity Worksheet (1 per student).
Gather materials for the Engage portion of the lesson. Engage (15 minutes): The teacher will show a magnet to the class. To help you plan your year 7 science lesson on: Our solar system, download all teaching resources for free and adapt to suit your pupils' needs.
The starter quiz will activate and check your pupils' prior knowledge, with versions available both with and without answers in PDF format. LESSON PROCEDURE Activity 1: Create a Solar System Model (20 minutes) Say to the students: "Let's make our own solar system! We will make planets and see how they move around the Sun." Paint a Planet: Step 1: Give each student some air dry clay and let them choose a planet in our solar system to recreate by rolling the clay into a ball. Lesson Overview In this lesson, students tour the Solar System.
They examine and define its various components-the Sun, planets, moons, comets, asteroids, dwarf planets, and Kuiper Belt Objects. They recognize that the Solar System is the family of the Sun, an average star, and other stars have families of their own. Taking a close look at the planets they find that characteristics like size.
Learning Targets/Purpose/Previous Learning Instructional Plan Purpose: This instructional plan will help students gain an understanding of the solar system planets, as well as their rotation around the sun. This lesson involves having the students learn about their respective planet, draw and color their planet, and understand the rotation of it around the sun. The students will then be.
Outline ur Solar System. Each group will research one object and prod ce a fact sheet. At the end of the activity, the diferent groups present their findings to the class and combine the fact sheets into a cl.
