Take a Planet Walk
I would like to suggest a fun way that the solar system is taught to students in 4th, 5th, or 6th grade. I love this topic and I think that this is going to be a great and fun opportunity for your students to learn about something that kids that age find interesting. The planet walk is a great opportunity for students to learn about the solar system by constructing it outside. It is a simple, yet challenging experience that, I believe, will allow students to develop a more respected interest in this topic. Distance, temperature, and other phenomena, such as moons, the sun, and rotation can also be explored by the students.
