US Grade 1 - 4
Beginner - Intermediate Level
In this 8 unit self-paced class, students will learn about the 8 planets through pre-recorded videos, games, and crafts. Each video will be about 15-20 minutes long (broken into two parts) containing detailed information about each planet such as its layers and what they are made up of, moons, temperature, visitations by spacecraft, special characteristics, etc... There will also be a game for each unit (trivia, fill in the blank, guess the word, etc...) Students can write down and submit their answers if they wish. The answers will be provided in the videos. Finally, there will be a unique craft for each planet. Students can follow along with Ms. Erin step by step to complete it. No previous knowledge about space is required in order to participate in this class. Since this is a self-paced class, there are no live meetings. I look forward to teaching your children! Ms. Erin
Learning Goals
Students will learn detailed information about each of the 8 planets and test out their knowledge through various games. A craft for each planet will help to consolidate the learning.Syllabus
