Description

In the Searching the Solar System Unit Study, we will explore astronomy through a look at the solar system. Some topics will include: astronauts, space missions, sun, moon, and planets. Students can work through all the assignments in each module – or just the ones they choose (or parents assign).

The four modules will cover the following topics:

Module 1 – Solar System Basics
Module 2 – Sun and Moon
Module 3 – Inner Planets
Module 4 – Outer Planets

Activities will include reading articles, watching videos, playing games/quizzes, doing hands-on activities, and completing engaging projects. The module projects will allow students to explore topics in more depth through baking, model construction, research, experiments, etc. Students will present their project in a digital format–a poster, video, picture, slideshow, etc. for a chance to win a gift card!

The content in this solar system unit study varies in difficulty so there’s something for everyone! The fun games and interesting facts make it appealing to a variety of ages. This unit study is self-paced. Most of the activities are done online, although there are a few things to do offline (e.g. baking).
