Students will learn all about our solar system including our planets, the sun, and the moon. Students will be able to tell the difference between the rocky planets and the gas planets. Students will learn all about the moon and each phase that occurs over a month. Students will learn about space travel and the important factors that astronauts have to learn and master before completing space missions. 

I have taught this Solar System Unit for many years in classrooms and have been intrigued by my students' excitement to learn the true facts about it. Over the years, I have continued to update and change these lessons to make them more student driven, hands on and exciting for students. I have found that after learning a scientific topic, students love engaging in a hands on approach in order to demonstrate their learning.
