About the Solar System

This video is a little bit more advanced with its content but it is still a great way to learn about the planets, the sun and there is even information on the two asteroid belts within the solar system. 

This video is a bit longer than the first by a few minutes.  This video is a more in-depth look at the planets, their order, what they are made of and other facts that are very important to understand. 

The video above is long but it is filled with extremely helpful information.  The planets and the narrator of the video discuss facts about the planet.  There are facts available on the bottom of the screen and there are even some musical parts.  This video will keep you engaged until the very end.  

Planet Songs!

This fun song will most certainly get stuck in your head.  Songs are helpful ways to learn about the planets/

This planet song is more of a fun rap and sounds like some of today's popular music.  It's fun and the graphics are great. You will be singing this tune in no time.

This last song is quite catchy and takes you through all the planets in the solar system.  An easy song to learn it incorporates facts about the planets while explaining their order starting from the sun. 

Planet Projects!

Thanks to this helpful video from Shaun and Kyra, you can make your own solar system!  As they explain how to make the planets, they share fun facts about each planet.  How cool!

What could be more fun than building a solar system with Play-Doh?  Follow this easy step by step guide to building your planets out of Play-Doh using cool colors that coordinate with the different planets.

This great experiment is a little bit more advanced than the others.  This would be a great project to do in the classroom or at home with an adult because there is a lot to do.  The end product is very pretty.
