Journey Through Space

Journey Through Space

















Standard: SCI.5.2.1 2010
Recognize that our earth is part of the solar system in which the sun, an average star, is the central and largest body. Observe that our solar system includes the sun, moon, seven other planets and their moons, and many other smaller objects like asteroids and comets.

Objective: 
  • Students will recognize the planets, sun, and stars as a solar system
  • Students will be able to decipher the planets based upon their descriptions

Description of Activities:
  • Students grab a book and read about the planets.  They will then grab a notecard with a description of a planet on it, and they decide which planet it belongs to.  They will then proceed to paperclip the notecard to the corresponding planet. 
  • For students who are visual learners, take the telescope and look at the 3-D solar system to imagine what the solar system may actually look like.
  • As a fun activity for students who get done early, they can look at the six space picture puzzles and try to solve them!
