Exploring Our Solar System
4 Fun Space lessons about Stars, Planets, and Asteroids! (Ages 5-10)
Course Summary
For this self-paced lesson, we will be learning all about the stars, galaxies, planets, and asteroids in our solar system!
đ Do your kiddos ever look up at the night sky and wonder, âWhat are those twinkling lights?â Or maybe youâve found yourself scrambling to pull together a lesson on planets, stars, and asteroidsâonly to realize your science bin is full of mismatched printouts and half-done worksheets.
đŹ Itâs frustrating to see that spark of curiosity fade when lessons feel more like memorizing a grocery list than exploring the cosmos. Your child wants an adventure, not another flat worksheet. You want to nurture their wonder⌠but who has time to build an epic space unit from scratch? Between juggling homeschool schedules, errands, and dinner plans, creating a âwowâ science lesson can feel like trying to launch a rocket with duct tape.
⨠Enter Exploring Our Solar System (Self-Paced)âa 4-lesson cosmic adventure that transforms âjust factsâ into âwhoa, so cool!â
Lesson 1: Stars & Galaxies
Lesson 2: The Rocky Planets
Lesson 3: The Gas Giants
Lesson 4: The Asteroid & Kuiper Belts
Each lesson is designed to delight children ages 5â10, blending visuals, narratives, and hands-on thinking so they donât just learn about spaceâthey journey through it. With self-paced access, your learner can move at their own speedâwhether thatâs orbiting quickly or lingering in a nebula for a while. (Plus: no prep scrambling for you.)
You bring the wonder at home; this course brings the structure. Letâs launch into space together!
