Exploring Our Solar System: A Mission for Sixth Grade Science Students

Join us on an exciting journey through our solar system, where sixth graders will draw and learn about the planets in their correct order. Understand the vast distances of space by grasping that one light-year equals approximately 5.8 trillion miles. Explore key concepts such as scientific theories and the Big Bang. Engage in hands-on activities like organizing planets by size, answering questions from textbook pages, and completing a planet diary. Let's discover how our solar system was created and how big Earth truly is!
