Planet Earth S1 Science Topic 4 We live on a planet called Earth which is at the centre of the Universe. Where do we live about? Earth is in a galaxy called The Solar System. There are lots of other stars and planets in The Solar System. Space S1 Science Planet Earth topic Learning outcomes Success criteria Know what planets make up the solar system. Name the eight planets in our solar system. Understand what relationship these planets have to the sun and to each other. List the order of the planets from the sun. Explain why there are differences in the time it takes each planet to order the sun. Planets in The Solar System Draw a cob-web. The number of “points” that it has should be the same as the number of answers you make. Which planets make up our solar system? Learning outcomes Success criteria Know what planets make up the solar system. Name the eight planets in our solar system. Understand what relationship these planets have to the sun and to each other. List the order of the planets from the sun. Explain why there are differences in the time it takes each planet to order the sun. Learning outcomes Understand the difference between stars, planets and moons. Success criteria Define the term “star”. Name the star that we orbit. Name our next closest star. Define the term “planet”. Define the term “moon”. Understand the difference between The Solar System, a galaxy and The Universe. Describe what makes up our solar system. Describe the difference between a galaxy and The Universe. Name our galaxy. Name our next closest galaxy. Key Questions • What is the difference between stars, planets and moons? • What is the difference between The Solar System, a galaxy and The Universe? Stars • A self-luminous celestial body consisting of a mass of gas held together by its own gravity in which energy is generated by nuclear reactions. Questions about our sun… • How far away from the Earth is it? • How big is it compared to Earth? • How hot is it? • Will it be there forever? • … Planet • A sphere of rock and/or gas which orbits a star. Moon • A sphere of rock and/or gas which orbits a planet. Questions about our moon… • How big is it compared to Earth? • How far away from Earth is it? • In what year did man first land on it? • What was the space shuttle called that landed on it? • Who was the first man to step on it? • … Learning outcomes Understand the difference between stars, planets and moons.
