Lesson Plan Title: Planets
Concept / Topic To Teach: Planets in the Solar System
Grade Level: 5th grade
Standards Addressed: Earth Sciences
5. The solar system consists of planets and other bodies that orbit the Sun in predictable paths. As a basis for understanding this concept: a. Students know the Sun, an average star, is the central and largest body in the solar system and is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium.
b. Students know the solar system includes the planet Earth, the Moon, the Sun, eight other planets and their satellites, and smaller objects, such as asteroids and comets.
c. Students know the path of a planet around the Sun is due to the gravitational attraction between the Sun and the planet.
General Goal(s): To have a basic understanding of the planets in the solar system. Know the unique characteristic of each planet and the order they rank in from the sun out.
Specific Objectives:
*For students to have a basic understanding of the planets
*For students to be able to describe the planet’s characteristics
*For students to be able to understand what each planet is made up of
*For students to be able to know the planets in order from the sun out
* For students to be able to do a presentation based on their knowledge of a single Planet
Required Materials: PowerPoint presentation, access to a computer,
Paper Mache materials- Newspaper, balloons, paint, glue, paintbrushes, and workspace
Anticipatory Set (Lead-In): Ask the students what they already know about the Planets. Start with a KWL chart.
Step-By-Step Procedures:
*fill out the KWL chart.
* Present PowerPoint presentation
*Have students get in groups of 3-4 students.
*Assigned each group a specific planet
*Each group will paper Mache a planet as well as present it to the class with 10 informative facts about the planet.
Plan For Independent Practice:
*Students will research the facts on their own. During each day a separate group will have tie to visit the library and have computer access to research about their planet. On the classroom website will be many helpful websites to look at. This will include the website that I have prepared.
Closure (Reflect Anticipatory Set): Follow up with students. Ask some students to share what their favorite Planet as well as some ideas that they are going to do to research the project.

Planet Facts:
Mercury:
The sun appears 2 and a half times larger in Mercury's sky compared to the Earth's.
If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would only weigh 37 pounds on Mercury.
Mercury has virtually no atmosphere. It however has small traces of an atmosphere which consists minute quantities of Hydrogen, Oxygen, Sodium, Potassium and argon.
Because of the lack of atmosphere, Mercury's sky is black and the stars probably can be seen during the day.
It takes less than 88 Earth days for Mercury to orbit around the sun.
Because of a lack of an atmosphere, the temperature rises above 800°F while on the dark side it falls rapidly to -300°F.
Mercury is the most iron rich planet in the Solar System with an iron core like Earth.
The surface of Mercury is heavily cratered, looking much like our moon.
Mercury rotates slowly on its axis. It completes one rotation every 59 Earth days.
As a result of the planet's slow rotation on its axis and rapid movement around the sun, a day on Mercury—that is, the interval between one sunrise and the next—lasts about 180 Earth days.
The sun's rays are about seven times as strong on Mercury as they are on the Earth.
Mars:
Mars is red because it is rusty. There is a lot of iron in the soil, and the air on Mars has made it turn red-just like rusty iron on Earth.
One of Mars' moons, Phobos, is moving closer and closer to Mars. Scientists think that one day it will crash into Mars.
Mars has the tallest Volcano in the Solar System named Olympus Mons and it is 15 miles high which is three times the height of Mount Everest.
Like Earth, the poles of Mars are covered in ice. The ice becomes thicker in the winter.
Mars orbits the sun every 687 Earth days.
The Martian “day” is about half a hour longer than Earth.
At its brightest, Mars outshines every other planet apart from Venus.
The thin atmosphere of Mars is made of mostly carbon dioxide.
A hundred pound man would weight 38 pounds on Mars.
In 1996 NASA, while studying the ALH 84001 meteorite of Martian origin found in Antarctica in 1984, announced that fossilized micro-organisms from Mars might be present in it.
Valleys and Canyons on Mars suggest that the planet once had large amounts of surface water.
In winter, nighttime temperatures on Mars can drop as low as -191°F.
Venus:
Venus is known as Earths' twin sister because of its similar size and proximity to each other.
Its atmosphere is made up mostly of carbon dioxide.
Venus rotates so slowly that it orbits the sun faster than it can make one whole rotation on its axis. In other words, Venus has a longer day than year.
It takes 243 days for Venus to make a rotation.
And it takes 224 days for Venus to orbit around the sun.
Venus is the most widely explored planet aside from our own Earth. Numerous space probes have been sent to Venus to gather data and some have landed on the surface.
It is believed that Venus used to have bodies of water similar to Earth, but dried up over a period of 300 million years when the sun began admitting more solar energy after the sun's infancy stage.
The clouds of Venus is filled with sulfuric acid.
Venus has mountains that are higher than Earth. Maat Mons is more than 5 miles high.
Venus is the brightest planet viewed from Earth.
The planet rotates from East to West. The only other planet that does this is Uranus.
Mercury:

Tips and Tricks
Whenever I use my laptop the battery life drains really fast at the most inconvenient time!! So annoying! One trick that a friend told me is to dim down the brightness on the screen. As long as you can still see the screen you're good... your screen doesn't need to be blinding you as you type! With the brightness toned down then your battery life can last a little bit longer while using your laptop! Brightness can be adjusted in your "Control Panel" under "Display Settings". :)

How I plan to teach
I was taught to remain in my seat and raise my hand when I wanted to be called opon. I remember sitting a lot and listening to directions. I never had computer acccess in the classroom. I remember listening to tape recordings with headphones and answering questions based on the recording. Children today are so technology advanced. They take quizzes online rather then listening to tape recorders. They have access to computers and internet. Even their toys are more advanced from when I was growing up. When I become a teacher I plan to allow students to do more with the way that technology is advancing. I plan to incorporate more online assignments for students, have a class website that they can have access to, and hopefully the school will have computers in the classroom that students will have access to during class time. Learning to research the internet is also very important, and I hope to assist students by assigning projects that will allow them to do so!!
