Are planets in our solar system alike or different? Test your students’ knowledge and critical thinking skills in this lesson plan for students in grades 5-8. It includes several discussion- and hands-on-based learning activities. 

Exploring Space

This lesson helps you get students to look away from their screens and up toward the stars. They’ll understand how the universe works and how it impacts their lives while diving into the science of planets and moons, asteroids and comets, the lives of stars, black holes, dark matter, and more.
