Solar system comprehension
This resource is ideal to be used to teach Junior Cycle Science
E an S 3: Students should be able to interpret data to compare the Earth with other planets and moons in the solar system, with respect to properties including mass, gravity, size, and composition.
A set of 8 fact literacy fact sheets on the planets in our solar system. These
are designed to be printed and displayed around a room/corridor/sports hall.
Students then visit the sheets in order to extract the data on each of the 8 planets.
Groupwork
Students could be split into groups with each group looking at a different data set. Alternatively each member of the group could be tasked with finding specific information.
The question sheet allows students to interpret the data on the fact sheets and use it to compare Earth with other planets in our solar system.
Comparisons looked at include density, diameter, day length, year length, composition and temperature.
All facts are taken from the NASA website and are listed as correct as of November 2021.
