The ‘Label the solar system’ interactive worksheet activity is great for learning about about the planets and where they sit in relation to the Sun. Accompanied by guidance and vocabulary, it also helps pupils consolidate their learning too.
Can your pupils remember the key facts about each planet?
Which is called the red planet?
Which has rings?
We’ve made the activity free to play so everyone can have a go. Just click here!
Taking a more personal approach? How about using our ‘Interview Neil Armstrong’ A.I.-powered activity to talk to one of the most famous astronauts of all time about missions past and present?
Great for answering those niggly questions that are not covered in text books, like …
How do you go to the toilet?
What do you eat?
How do you sleep if you can’t lie down?
Any questions?
If you have any questions, we’d love to answer them. Contact us at enquiries@busythings.co.uk or telephone us on 01332 364963, and we’ll do our very best!
