Hello, little explorers! Today, we’re going on a fun journey to learn about the solar system. Are you ready to blast off? Let’s go!
The Sun is a big, bright ball of fire in the sky. It keeps us warm and gives us light. Can you imagine how hot it must be? It’s like a giant lamp for our solar system!
The Moon is the Sun’s friend that comes out at night. It shines bright in the sky and sometimes looks like a big, round ball. Other times, it looks like a banana! Have you seen the Moon at night?
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. It’s very small and zooms around the Sun super fast!
Venus is a hot and cloudy planet. It’s like a big, spinning ball of clouds!
Earth is our home! It’s the perfect place for us to live, with lots of water and air to breathe.
Mars is the red planet. Some people call it the “Red Planet” because of its color. It has big mountains and deep valleys.
Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system. It’s like a giant ball with stripes and a big red spot!
Saturn is famous for its beautiful rings. It’s like a hula hoop around the planet!
Uranus is a chilly planet that spins on its side. It’s a pretty blue color!
Neptune is the farthest planet from the Sun. It’s very cold and windy there!
Now it’s your turn to say the names of the Sun, Moon, and planets. Are you ready? Let’s say them together:
Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Great job, little space travelers! You did it! Thanks for joining our solar system adventure. Keep looking up at the sky and dreaming big!
Create Your Own Solar System Mobile: Gather some craft supplies like paper, string, and colors. Draw and cut out circles for each planet, the Sun, and the Moon. Color them according to what you learned: make Mars red, Jupiter big with stripes, and Saturn with rings. Hang them from a hanger or a stick to create your own solar system mobile. As you hang each planet, say its name and something special about it!
Planet Walk: Go outside and create a “planet walk” in your backyard or a park. Use chalk or small objects to mark the Sun and each planet’s position. Start with the Sun and walk the distance to Mercury, then Venus, and so on. As you reach each planet, pause and think about what makes it unique. How far do you think each planet is from the Sun?
Moon Phases Observation: Over the next few weeks, look at the Moon each night and draw what you see. Does it look like a big round ball or a banana? Keep a Moon diary and see if you can spot the different phases of the Moon. Talk about how the Moon changes shape and why it might look different each night.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:
