Earth - Grade 2 Science

We have learnt a lot about the sun, the planets, earth and the moon today - and how together these make up our solar system.

We have been learning about the relationship between objects in space. We have learnt that objects orbit around other objects.

Each item on the left orbits around something on the right. Draw a line using your mouse to identify the relationship. A hint - The moon orbits around the "what"?

We learnt many new words to describe space. See if you can find these new words in this word search. Some might be forwards, some might be backwards and some migth go up or down.

Let's have some fun and draw the solar system as you understand it. Include the celestial objects you can remember and try to draw the relationship between the objects. There is no wrong answer here.

Include the sun, the planets, earth, the moon in your drawing.

The moon changes throughout the month. What are the names of the different stages of the moon's monthly pattern.

What are the names of the different stages of the moon's monthly pattern. Point out what stage you saw the moon when you looked out the window.
