Introduction to Our Solar System

Hello class! I would like you to take a moment to watch this playlist I put together. We are going to start a unit on our Solar System next week, and this playlist will introduce what we are going to be learning.

As you watch these videos, I want you to answer the following questions on a separate piece of paper.
1) How was the sun and our solar system formed?
2) What order are the planets in the solar system in?
3) What planets have moons?
4) How old is the solar system according to the last video?
5) What planets make up the inner solar system?

The answers to these questions are due Monday. I hope you find these videos interesting! Please let me know if you have any questions!

Glogster

I just learned about this new site called Glogster. It is a site where you can make digital posters on whatever you want. I made a poster of some California facts. I would use this in my classroom to introduce topics to my students. I hope you will check this site out! Below is a link to my California glog.

Teacher Resources!

I found some really interesting and helpful sites that could be used by teachers, no matter what grade they are teaching. I found some that teachers could use in planning their lessons, and some that their students can interact with. Below is a link to my website's resources page. Please feel free to check it out! If you find or know of any helpful teacher websites, please comment and tell me the URL!
