ACM Science

Where are we in the Universe?

Learning Objective: To know the planets of our solar system and their different propertiesBRIDGES: Through making connections to prior learning

DO NOW: Order the planets from the sun in your books:

Mars Venus Saturn

Neptune Jupiter

Mercury Earth Uranus

Rocky Planets

Gaseous Planets

Skip all planet slides

Mnemonics: Create a mnemonic to help you memorise the order of the planets

E.g. My Very Easy Method Just Sums Up Naming Planets

Learning outcomes

To state the names of the planets and

know they orbit the sun

(Level 4c)

To describe the planetary conditions (Level 5c)

To be able to make and draw models of the

solar system and compare the two

(Level 6c)

Copy the following table into your book.Find out about the different planets using the factsheets and share the information with your partner.

AU is a unit of length equal to the average distance from Earth to sun, approximately 149,600,000 kilometres (So Earth is AU 1)

Extension: What do you notice about the planets as they move further away from the sun?
