1. The Earth is part of
a system of planets orbiting
around a star (the
sun) (ACSSU078)
Communicate ideas,
explanations and processes
using scientific
representations in a variety
of ways, including multi-
modal texts (ACSIS093)
Science involves testing
predictions by
gathering data and
using evidence to develop
explanations of events and
phenomena and reflects
historical and cultural
contributions (ACSHE081)
Use interaction skills, for
example paraphrasing,
questioning and
interpreting non-verbal
cues and choose vocabulary
and vocal effects
appropriate for different
audiences and
purposes (ACELY1796)
Collect, store and present
different types of data for a
specific purpose
using software (ACTDIP016)
Create and
communicate information,
including online
collaborative projects, using
agreed social, ethical
and technical
protocols (codes of conduct)
(ACTDIP022)
Specific Lesson Objective
As a result of this lesson, students
will be able to:
Identify the planets of the solar
system and how long they take to
orbit the sun.
Identify the distance of each planet
from the sun and represent this
using ICT.
Identify possible questions for
investigation.

 Use sun as example and show to class
as a guide.
 Information to be included:
picture/drawing of each planet, its name,
their order within solar system and
distance from the sun.
Conclusion –
 Reminder to save work before class
comes together.
 If there are any finished products look at
together and discuss findings/results of
research.
 Teacher to take note of groups who are
not finished – can be worked on for
homework or at the beginning of lesson
2.
 Add any new questions to KWL chart.
Early finishers – Come up with a new
acrostic poem to remember the order of the
planets (with the omission of Pluto). Students
will add this to their Sway presentation.
2. As a result of this lesson, students
will be able to:
Describe the physical features of
the planets of the solar system.
Identify and describe the
approximate size of each planet –
relative to Earth’s size.
Display the information gathered
using ICT.
Identify possible questions for
investigation.

Body –
 Each group is assigned 1 planet to
research further and build a profile of
that planet.
 Prompts for research points include:
- What is the average temperature?
- What are the weather conditions?
- What is the planet made of?
- Size of the planet – displayed
relative to the size of the earth
- How long does it take for the planet
to complete one full rotation (1
day)?
- How long does it take for the planet
to complete one full orbit of the sun
(1 year)?
 This profile or series of slides is then
uploaded into a class Sway as a
collaborative presentation.
Conclusion –
 Remind students to save their work.
Assist with uploading to Sway where
necessary.
 View class presentation together.
 Teacher to take note of groups who are
not finished – can be worked on for
homework or at the beginning of lesson
3.
 Add any new questions to KWL chart.
3. As a result of this lesson, students
will be able to:
Discuss the conditions and physical
environment of the planets.
Reflect upon the tasks completed
previously and the information
gathered to answer the following
prompt – What would it be like to
live on the planet you have
researched?
Using ICT create a short movie to
present your response to the above
question – detailing the weather
conditions, physical features etc of
the assigned planet.

 Students may use the sun, but may not
use earth.
 Responses must include as a minimum:
- What are the weather conditions?
- What is the planet made of?
- Size of the planet
- What physical features of their
avatar assist them to live on their
planet?
 Some further suggestions for their
responses are:
- What can they see?
- Is there any other life on the planet?
- What type of shelter are they living
in?
 Their responses can be presented
using: iMovie, green screen, or
PuppetPals
Conclusion –
 Class comes together for groups to
present their movies.
 Once all presentations have been made,
class returns to their seats and are
provided KWL chart through Google
Docs, to record what they have learned.
