This Year 5 What are Planets? Lesson PowerPoint focuses on each of the planets in our Solar System, their similarities and differences, and how gravity creates approximately spherical bodies in space. Linked closely to our Year 5 Earth and Space overview, this resource has been designed to include everything you might need for a lesson, including a post-lesson assessment, key vocabulary, teaching slides, subject knowledge in the notes, tasks, and links to real-life professions. We’ve even included ideas for home-learning.

Use on your interactive board to start your children on their journey to becoming top scientists!

National Curriculum Objectives:
