Stars and the Solar System Bundle-PBL Unit/Virtual Field Trip-Distance Learning

Stars and the Solar System are always a part of K-5 content at some point. We love stars and the solar system. Space exploration just captivates us.

Do you need complete content units ready for DIGITAL delivery? Stars and the Solar System Bundle is perfect for that! Start this unit out with a K-W-L and See, Think, Wonder to activate inquiry. Your students will then have the opportunity to investigate the Sun as a star and it's size, moon phases, and the planets in the solar system. After each investigation, students will create their own digital pages to enhance understanding followed by using their understanding to give explanations.

Stars and the solar system includes a student choice board and a final project in which they will create explanation videos that entertain us!!

Then to Put a Cherry on Top........

Let's take a Fall Virtual Field Trip to the International Space Station and learn all about what it's like to live in SPACE!!! This No Wheels Field Trip is just what you need to have some fun when studying about Space!
