Over the past 2 weeks we have been looking at SPACE; the solar system, the planets and the stars! We started by looking at different star constellations in the Cosmodome. This week we have focused on the planets. There is heaps of cool stuff we learnt...(even Mrs Saunders learned a few new things)!
Did you know that Pluto is no longer a planet? Scientists call it a dwarf planet because it is so tiny and insignificant! We learnt that Mercury and Jupiter spin the fastest around the sun. Jupiter is the biggest planet and is made of gas. Venus is the same size as Earth but it spins the opposite way! Mercury has no moon but Saturn has lots. Neptune has heaps of storms and Uranus is the coldest planet even though Neptune is further away.
We absolutely love these videos on space. Check them out below...
