Spring Term Theme – Spaceship Earth

 

What planets make up our solar system? How were these planets formed? How do the Earth, sun and moon move around each other? How have ideas around our solar system changed?

This term, we are going to be soaring to infinity (and beyond!) as we explore our solar system. We will be looking at the different planets and investigating what makes them different to our own; we will look at the natural processes on our own extraordinary planet, including the water cycle and river formations. Year 6 will explore the key events in the Space Race and how this has impacted our current interactions with our Solar System.

Across the different subjects, we will investigate the following questions:

What would it be like to take part in an interplanetary mission?

How have theories about our solar system changed?

How do the movements of other celestial bodies impact life on our own planets?

Which individual had arguably the greatest impact on the space race?

Can we create a piece of space themed art using software?

How did Han Zimmer capture the emotions and atmosphere of space within his music?

What electrical mechanisms could be used to create a vehicle capable of moving across a planet’s surface?
