6th Grade Solar System TPACK Template

The document provides details for a 6th grade science lesson on the solar system. The learning objective is for students to understand the organization of the solar system and interactions between its bodies. An online activity will reinforce these concepts by allowing students to visualize planet sizes, rotations, revolutions, and distances in a simulation, building on their prior knowledge of the basic structure of the solar system.

Objective organization of the solar system and the interactions
among the various bodies that comprise it. Key concepts
include
a) the sun, moon, Earth, other planets and their moons,
dwarf planets, meteors, asteroids, and comets;
b) relative size of and distance between planets;
c) the role of gravity;
d) revolution and rotation;
e) the mechanics of day and night and the phases of the
moon;
f) the unique properties of Earth as a planet;
g) the relationship of Earths tilt and the seasons;
h) the cause of tides; and
i) the history and technology of space exploration.

Online Activity
Pedagogy

In this activity students, will learn all about the solar system. Students
will see the difference between the sizes on the planets, how they
rotation and revolve around one another or the sun, and also distance of
the planets.

Before beginning the simulation, students must have some knowledge


of the solar system. They do not have to know a lot, just a general idea
because this activity will teach and reinforce a lot of information about
the solar system.
Technology http://smithsonianeducation.org/students/
logy Techno

All students have access to computers


Headphones so they can listen to the multiple videos that are within the
simulation.
