Procedure:
I will talk about the night sky and ask the students about the objects they could see in the night sky. What things exist in our galaxy? I will have the students watch the video; “The Story of our Solar System” on Youtube and then discuss some of the information they learned from this video.

I will discuss with the students why we live on Earth and why we can’t live on any other planet. What are the characteristics of planet Earth?
I will ask each student to pick a peer to work with in finding more information and facts about a specific planet, its size, how far it is from the sun, and how many moons each planet has. Students may use textbooks, internet, and encyclopedias to find facts and information. They will be asked how to help protecting our Planet Earth?.
