Summer 2009
Topic: Solar System
Class: Science
Grade Level: 1
Standard from Alabama Course of Study:
11.) Compare the day sky to the night sky as observed with the unaided eye.
Procedure:
After two weeks of learning about the Solar System, students will review this information by
playing the arcade game Wordshoot. Students will play this game individually by matching the
questions to the correct answers. The student who receives the highest score will receive some
gold star stickers and a certificate.
Questions in this game:
Which planet is closest to the sun?*Mercury
Which planet do we live on?*Earth
Which planet is Earth's sister planet?*Venus
Which planet has the highest mountain?*Mars
Which planet has a Giant Red Spot on it?*Jupiter
Which planets is known for its beautiful icy rings?*Saturn
Which planet spins on its side?*Uranus
Which planet has a storm known as the Great Dark Spot?*Neptune
How many planets are in our Solar System?*8
Which dwarf planet was once known as a planet in our Solar System?*Pluto
Student Assessment:
Each student will be assessed by how well they answer the questions correctly. There is a timer
on this game so that the student will have to know the answers automatically in order to finish on
time. At the end of the game students are given a score according to their performance. I will
use this score as an indicator for mastery.
Teacher Reflection:
I feel that this game will be very beneficial to my students because it gives them a fun way of
reviewing previously taught materials. Students can have access to this material for the rest of
the school year in order to revisit this information.
