We are currently working to bring specifically tailored curriculum resource links for our other territories including South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

The following information for mapping the resource documents to the school curriculum is specifically tailored to the English National Curriculum and Scottish Curriculum for Excellence. Alternatively, groups could make their planets from papier-mâché and other materials to hang from the classroom ceiling. They could create a poster for their planet, including key facts and features (such as its size, distance from the sun, moons etc). Divide the class into groups, with each group focusing on a different planet. The teaching resource can be used in study group tasks for learning about space and the solar system as a printed handout for each pupil to review and annotate or for display on the interactive whiteboard using the images included in the resource for class discussion.Īctivity: Ask the children to make a solar system display for the classroom. Using our National Geographic Kids’ Space primary resource sheet, pupils will learn fascinating facts about the solar system by taking a journey to the different planets orbiting the Sun. What’s the largest planet? Why does Uranus spin on its side? Which planet has a moon named Triton? What’s the difference between a planet and a dwarf planet? Discover the planets, stars, moons, comets and dwarf planets of our solar system. This Science primary resource introduces children to the solar system.
