Lets clap for the for the 1st group. When you look up at the sky at night, what do you see? We can sort the eight planets from biggest to smallest, from nearest to farthest from the sun, and by how much they weigh. Demonstrate knowledge of the solar system by arranging spherical objects of different sizes in an order that represents the eight planets and the sun. Questions that encompasses the objective: Think about the night sky. Airek, what is the characteristic of the planet Mars? Now, lets have the first gas giant planet. You also need to ensure they have access to the internet or other sources for research purposes. Draw and label your answer in the space below. Terms and Conditions The students will be able to name the planets of the Solar System. Marinelle, whos absent today?

Very good! Students could also focus on one aspect of all eight planets, such as their size or distance from the sun. Jaymar, what is the characteristic of the planet Uranus? Next, your students should multiply the orbital distance (in AU) of each planet by the scale factor (235m/1AU in this case) to find how far from the Sun the planets need to be placed in the model. Write the names of the eight planets on the board, telling students they are in order from smallest to largest (write: Mercury, Mars, Venus, Earth, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter). sun ( the %lanets ( their moons ( and other o&6ects li+e asteroids.

The closer together objects are will cause them to have greater gravity. If you prefer a model where the solar system fits in the classroom, try the activity Model the Distances between Planets in our Solar System. What did they get wrong? The 7th planet on our solar system is called Uranus. Why was the paperclip attracted to the magnet? 1. Review once the students have completed the worksheet. The teacher will use the magnet and a paperclip to show that the paper clip, The teacher will ask, Is the magnet attracted to the paperclip or is the paperclip attracted to the magnet?, Allow students time to think before accepting any answers.

NGSS Standard But we will put the sun in the left corner of our Solar System model. Venus takes 243 days. A solar system includes a sun (which is a star itself) and the planets and other objects that travel around it. Because the radius of the Sun is about 109 times the radius of Earth, the Sun would have a radius of a little over 1m in this model.

Make-a-Movie: Produce a travelog describing a journey through the solar system from the Sun to Neptune. For example, to create a scale model of the eight planets, scaled so the radius of Earth is 1cm, you use a scale factor of 1 cm/6,378 km because 6,378km (the actual radius of Earth) multiplied by 1 cm/6,378 km (the scale factor) yields 1cm (the radius of the Earth model).

The teacher will relate student knowledge to the demonstration at the beginning of class. Your students will make similar model planets. The bigger an object is, and the more mass it has, the more gravity it will exert on other objects. The more mass an object has, the more gravity it will exert on another object. It includes the planets and their moons as well as numerous asteroids and comets. Mars' radius is about half of Earth's radius.
