My Child attended a planaterium presentation about planets and solar systems beyond the sun including size and distance and orbit of the planets star, how long it would take to travel to the planet and different environments on planets

• Learned about different planets and their sizes
• Understood the distance between the planets and the sun
• Gained knowledge about the orbit of the planets
• Learned about the time it would take to travel to different planets
• Explored the diverse environments found on different planets

Continued development related to this activity could include:

1. Encouraging the child to create a model of the solar system using materials such as clay or styrofoam balls.

2. Engaging the child in researching more information about a specific planet of interest and creating a poster or presentation to share with the class.

3. Taking the child on a virtual tour of a planetarium or space museum online to further enhance their understanding of the solar system.
