- Learned about the planets in our solar system
- Understood the concept of gravity and how it affects objects in space
- Discovered that the sun is a star and the center of our solar system
- Learned about the phases of the moon and why they occur
- Understood that there are different types of galaxies in the universe
Continued development can include creating a model of the solar system using household items such as balls and string, or using a flashlight and a ball to demonstrate the phases of the moon. Encourage the child to ask questions and explore further by reading books or watching videos about space and astronomy.
