Puxi Grade 1:Creative Planets

Recently all the first graders have been learning about the Solar System and all the eight planets. The science teachers designed a very creative and useful project called “Planet of Your Own” for all the students. Every student was given a styrofoam ball as a planet. The students were encouraged to color and design this ball into a very unique planet. The students were also required to figure out this unique planet’s name, distance from Earth, and basic features.

After everybody finished with their planet, every student was given the opportunity to give a short speech introducing his or her own planet on December 18th. The science teachers showed off the excellent planet work to encourage every student.

From this project, all the first graders have strengthened their basic understanding of the planets of the solar system and what’s more, they have developed their great imaginations.
