SCIENCE

PRIMERO Y SEGUNDO DE PRIMARIA

Last term in science, first and second graders studied the universe,

galaxies and the solar system.

First graders learned about our solar system, so now they

know,what the names of the planets are and they also know

about rotation and revolution movements.

They learned everything playing and singing songs.

They worked on two projects; in one of them they

were in groups and they did the solar system using

plasticine for the planets.

And in the other project, first each of them

created and invented a planet , they name their

planet and describe them. Then the class that is

usually split into two groups use those planets to

create their own solar system.

To end up

with the unit

we had a

presentation

of each

project.

Second graders invented their own glalaxy and their

own solar system.

First they created their planets, they drew then

and wrote what their characteristics were.

They also voted what the name of the galaxy

would be . Their galaxy was called “Art Galaxy”

and it had some important features; which are the

following:

In the “Star System”, which

belongs to de “Art Galaxy” there

are two planets in each orbit

that is why for the revolutionary

movement they need to follow

the same direction and to go at

the same speed.

There are six planets in their “star system”: Cyclon

planet, Flower planet, Music planet, Beano planet, uriter

planet and spaghetti planet.

Everything was deduced by the students

To end up the project we hang a big poster with the “star

system” on one of the walls in the class.
