This resource is part of the Year 5 science Earth & Space topic. It assumes some prior learning of orbits and rotations in relation to the Earth, moon and sun. Within this lesson, pupils can create a simple ‘orrery’, which they can use to demonstrate and deepen their understanding of the orbital periods of the earth and moon.
PowerPoint contains a short introduction, then step by step photos and instructions, as well as a task using their completed orreries.
Also contains the actual template for use in making the orrery. Best printed onto A3 card, but can also be printed on paper and backed onto card.
