Learning About the Solar System through Crafting

In this project, students will learn about the solar system through crafting. The learning outcomes for this project include:

• Identifying the planets in the solar system
• Understanding the order of the planets from the sun
• Exploring the characteristics of each planet

Methodology

Students will start by watching a short video about the solar system. Then, they will be given a worksheet to fill out with information about each planet. After completing the worksheet, students will work in groups to create a model of the solar system using craft materials such as paper, glue, and paint. Each group will be assigned a planet to create and will need to include information about the planet's characteristics in their model.
