Have you guys ever started a project and forgotten it? Abandoned it?
I have SEVERAL, but for some reason, last week I decided to pull this one out of the archives. We are starting our Solar System unit next week and I really wished I had this project done so I could use it. Well… after several nights of work it is FINALLY finished. Whew. The best part is that I feel so much better about this unit! Our science books are older (and plus books are boring) so I like to pair the book with some fun activities… and I think I accomplished that with this pack!
What will you find in this pack? See below!
These
posters are colorful and include lots of fun facts about each planet.
Planet
Mini-book (and
answer key)
These
mini-books will give your students all of the information they need to know
about each planet. You can complete these with your students OR you can let
your students complete them by looking at the planet posters.
(We have been using the posters and mini book the past two days in my classroom and the kiddos have really enjoyed it! The posters were displayed all around the room and they had to find the information they needed for the books.)

What are some cool resources you use to teach the Solar System?
I would love to know any fun ideas you might have!
Thank you very much for your confirmation of the message. I read it a couple of years ago, said Yes whole heartedly but after a while it disappeared from my memory. Great to know that it is still valid.
