Solar System Model
30 min classes
ES 3: The solar system is comprised of various objects that orbit the sun and are classified based on their
characteristics.
Periods 3& 7: SWBAT
demonstrate proficiency on
Earth, Moon & Sun Unit Test
Period 5: SWBAT compare
and contrast 2 planets using
venn diagram (at least 2
similarities and 2 differences)
SWBAT take 5-4-3-2
notes on the Cosmos
Video.
SWBAT compare and
contrast 2 planets using
venn diagram (at least 3
similarities and 3
differences)
Periods 3&7: I can
demonstrate proficiency (75%
or higher) on the Earth, Moon
& Sun Unit Test.
Period 5: I can compare and
contrast the inner and outer
planets in the solar system.
I can identify at least 5
facts, 4 terms, and 3
questions from the
video on the
“Cosmos.”
I can compare and
contrast the inner and
outer planets in the solar
system.
SWBAT demonstrate the
size of the Sun and the
bodies of the Solar System
on the ten billionth
scale.
Construct and walk the
distances between the
bodies of the Solar System
on the ten-billionth scale.
I can demonstrate the size
and distances of the
planets in the solar system
using a model.
How do astronomers classify the objects in our solar system?
What are the inner planets?
Outer planets?
How do they compare?
What is a dwarf planet?
What is a terrestrial planet?
What is a Jovian planet?
What do Ceres, Eris and Pluto
have in common?
How do the inner and outer
planets compare?
How are the inner planets
similar?
Why is venus hotter than
mercury?
What kind of atmospheres do
the inner planets have?
What would happen if you
entered a gas giant?
What are the inner
planets?
Outer planets?
How do they
compare?
What is a dwarf
planet?
What is unique about this
planet/object?
What would someone see
if they visited this
location?
When was it discovered?
What does it look like?
What do we still not know
about this planet/object?
Did the position of
Mercury surprise you?
How would the real Sun
look from the real Mars
compared to how we see
the Sun from Earth?
Compare the sizes of the
inner and outer planets.
How have we learned so
much about the planets?
How fast do you think a
spacecraft would travel
on this model?
How do distances
challenge spacecraft?
Were your predictions for
the size of Earth and
Jupiter right?
