Out of this World!
This week we are learning about the Solar System. There are some great sites with some fun games for you and your child to play together. One great site which has great information on all of the planets is http://www.kidsastronomy.com/solar_system.htm
Here you can even create your own solar system. This would be a great site to help you and your child with the take home project this month.
A great way to learn is to learn while playing a game. At the Planet Pursuit Game you get to guide a rocket to the planets while dodging asteroids. Once you arrive at the planet you must correctly answer a question about that planet to get a probe. You must get 5 probes to complete your mission. Have a BLAST!
Another great way for the kids to learn is by playing matching games. I found a great site that has many different types of solar systems matching games. One matching game even talks! Scroll down to the section that says solar system and the nine planets. Even though Pluto is no longer a planet, it is a dwarf planet, so please remind your child of this! Have fun matching!
