Popping Planets on the Parachute. Most preschools have a parachute specifically used
for large group activities. However, if you do not have a parachute, you can use a
large sheet. Place several balls of varying colors and sizes on the parachute. Position
the children all around the perimeter of the parachute or sheet and have them grab
lifting and dropping the parachute.

Morning Circle:
Ask the children if they enjoyed their "Picnic Party." Tell them that today we'll be
learning about another "P" word: "Planets!" Ask them if anyone can name one or
more of the planets. Ask them if they know how many planets are in our solar system.
Show the children some nice glossy photos of our planets, and help them understand
the concept of the solar system.
Explain that there is a special body in our solar system that, until very recently, was one
of our planets. It's called "Pluto," and scientists now call it a "dwarf planet." It's very
far away from Earth, past and rocky minerals, similar to some planet's moons. That's
why space scientists, called astronomers, say it is really not a planet. We used to have
nine planets, and now we only have eight!

styrofoam balls (available at craft supply stores) of various
the children to sort them into categories by color or size.
Let them place them in order from smallest to largest.
Count the "planets" in small groups and then as a larger
group. (see additional activities for printable versions)

GeoSafari Motorized Solar System By Educational Insights Inc. The "sun" shines onto the nine planets as they orbit around it. The central tower and planetary support rods are black so that they "disappear" in a darkened room for a spectacular effect! Replace the solar dome with the star dome included to create a spectacular planetarium sky complete with major constellation names. In addition the base features a special 1000-hour light bulb and planetary longitude marks so the planets can be set up to their correct positions. The Solar System model is powered either by four C batteries (not included) or by an optional AC adapter (not included). |

| Make some Planets! Let the children experiment with color and texture by making two planets, Mars and Neptune. Give each child two strytofoam balls, one considerably larger than the other (the larger one is Neptune.) Roll the balls around in white glue until well coated. Give each child two containers: one filled with red sand and the other with small bits of torn blue tissue paper (in at least two shades of blue.) Let the children coat the smaller strytofoam ball with red sand for Mars, and the other ball with tiny bits of blue tissue for Neptune. This activity can be adapted for other planets as your time, resources, and creativity allow. |
Special Visitor
If a parent in your room has an astronomy hobby,
set up a time to let the children do some real night
sky viewing. The winter months often provide an
especially good time for stargazing due to the cold
clear atmosphere.
