Topics:

Earth and space

Use the data on the poster to answer questions about the planets including ‘Are all planets made of rock like Earth? How big is each planet? How far is each planet from the Sun?’. Use information about the relative size of each planet using fruit, and relative scaled distances between planets, to make a model of the solar system in the playground.
