What do you know about the planets? - Presentation

The presentation "What do you know about the planets?" by Focus Education is an educational resource designed to enhance the knowledge of students about the Solar System. It encourages collaborative learning by having pupils work in groups of six, with each member becoming an expert or 'champion' for a specific planet. This group activity is structured to ensure that each team gains a comprehensive understanding of six different planets, with individual responsibilities to research and present findings on Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Mercury, and Neptune.

The learning process is interactive and involves the use of various appendices that prompt questions about each planet and its position in the Solar System. Students are tasked with conducting research, formulating their ideas about the presentation, and deciding on the best way to convey their findings. There's also a provision for the champions of each planet to convene and verify their findings collectively. The ultimate goal is for each group to present their research to the rest of the class. Additionally, the groups must determine how they will approach learning about Uranus using Appendix G. The resource is designed to foster teamwork, research skills, and effective communication, culminating in a shared learning experience about the Sun, Earth, Moon, and the planets in our Solar System.
