Since we had already studied the properties of light on Day 1, we just made a couple solar powered projects for Day 4.
We read:
“Going around the Sun Some Planetary Fun” by Marianne Collins Berkes
and
“Eight Great Planets” by Laura Purdie Salas
Both are rhyming books and would be great for young children!
We watched The Magic School Bus “Lost in Space”.
My boys have seen all of these before but they seem to get more out of them when we watch them while learning about something in the video.
Making the Solar System ended up being a great way to explain how seasons and years work!
It is a great visual tool!
It would also be a great time to go to a planetarium!
I also included a few peeks into our other schoolwork.
Hope you have a great week!
