Today we are wrapping up our unit study on the solar system.  My youngest prompted this unit study when he got a solar system map in a kid’s meal.  He looked at it, turned to me and said, “I want to learn about the solar system.”  Thanks to the library, online resources and YouTube, we have enjoyed learning about our solar system. And I’m seeing how much science has learned in the many years since I was in elementary school.

I thought I’d simply share some of our favorite clips from YouTube, and I’d share the unit study we used to make little notebooks on the solar system.  We didn’t use all aspects of this solar system unit from Teachers Pay Teachers, but it was a great resource!  Enjoy!

I’m taking part in a monthly blogging challenge through Two Writing Teachers.
