THE SOLAR SYSTEM resources

The Solar system topic is an incredible theme to ask questions about deeper thoughts of our children. They love it, and they are curious about the new information. It fills the mind with wonder. You can use vocabulary related to planets, stars, moons, asteroids, and even mysterious black holes. 

The solar system proves an abundance of learning opportunities. You can teach about astronomy, physics, math or biology. It provides us with an opportunity for doing science experiments and projects. 

Check if these resources can help you teach the solar system topic. I always use songs in the classroom. We can engage our young students with catchy tunes and lyrics. 

Browse the post, and you'll find videos, printables, worksheets and activities along with an abundance of resources.
