Fun Ideas For A Solar System Unit Study
The Solar System is such a fun and mysterious topic. We know so much but there is so much that we don’t know. We enjoy exploring the space in a variety of different ways. It’s fun to explore, pretending to be an astronaut or a man on the moon.
We are sharing our Solar System themed posts but thought it would be fun to share our other favorites. We have included math, literacy, arts & crafts, sensory and science. We can’t wait to add some of these ideas to our next Solar System Unit Study and we hope that you do too!
