Exploring the Solar System in Elementary School through Play
In the topic of space in science lessons, children should learn about the vastness of our universe and the planets of our solar system. Design an exciting, informative, and interactive science lesson from Grade 1 to 4 on the topic of space and planets in elementary school with interdisciplinary teaching materials. Through play, children will be introduced to everything about the universe and the connection between nature and outer space. Thus, elementary school students learn important basic knowledge as well as advanced backgrounds about space, planets, and our solar system.
How hot is the sun? How big is our universe? How does a rocket work? What are the names of our planets? These are just a few of the many questions that already occupy children at a young age. As they grow older, these curious little researchers develop a stronger interest in the Earth, our universe, the solar system, and celestial bodies. "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos" - This is probably one of the most popular mnemonic devices that children learn to remember the correct order of our eight planets in elementary school and to recall it quickly. But there are still so many more questions to be answered about planets and space in elementary school.
What is Conveyed?
- Introduction to the planets of our solar system
- Knowledge about moon phases and solar eclipses
- Important terms related to space
- Constellations
- Formation of celestial bodies and phenomena such as auroras
- Connection between nature and outer space
- Space technology such as satellites, rockets, and astronauts
How to Explain Space to Children in Elementary School?
Space in elementary school: Convey the universe and our solar system in elementary school vividly, with movement and lots of fun, using varied teaching materials. Experiments, our solar system as a magnetic set, inflatable planets, and much more - This way, science lessons on space and the solar system in elementary school can be made exciting with little effort. With the teaching materials, elementary school students can learn together in class, in pairs, or independently. The teaching materials are age-appropriate, curriculum-based, and super easy to use. In addition, our teaching materials can be used across different topics and subjects.
The topic of space, the solar system, and planets in elementary school can be very well combined with other topics in science lessons. Possible combinations include weather and seasons or even water cycle. Similarly, the topic is suitable for interdisciplinary teaching: e.g., worksheets for reading comprehension or fill-in-the-blank texts on the topic of space in German class or even drawing planets in art class. A special highlight in our range of teaching materials on the topic of space is our story flashlight. The flashlight projects images that are intended to inspire children to tell stories. Perfect for German or foreign language lessons.
Before you start with the topic of space in elementary school, it is advisable to exchange prior knowledge and develop questions together in class. Then, it is good to clarify important terms related to our universe (e.g., space, galaxy, solar system, planets, Milky Way, etc.) and distinguish them from each other. Afterwards, we recommend continuing with a historical background. Here, you can present interesting facts to the students, e.g., about the first trip to the moon or the beginnings of planetary research.
To familiarize first-grade students with the topic of planets and the solar system in elementary school, for example, our giant inflatable planets are great. The large solar system set is not only designed to be very vivid and educational for children but also works very well as decoration. This way, you transform your classroom into an interstellar space at the same time. This basic knowledge can now be expanded with the increasing academic development of elementary school students up to the 4th grade. Particularly appealing and interactive is our Space Mission Circuit Set, with which the little mini-engineers can independently complete various circuits. Take your time to browse through our range now and get inspired on the topic of space and planets in elementary school!
