| Event Name: | Exploring Planet Temperatures |
| Event Description: | Students will learn basic information about the planets of the Solar System. They will compare the temperatures of the planets and understand the reasons behind these differences (such as distance from the Sun and atmospheric composition). Additionally, students will develop their mathematical and analytical skills by comparing and visualizing the data. |

| Report on the Results: | Activity Report: Journey through the Solar System – Exploring Planetary Temperatures Activity Objectives: • Students will learn basic information about the planets of the Solar System. • They will compare planetary temperatures and understand the reasons for these differences (distance from the Sun, atmospheric composition). • They will develop mathematical and analytical skills by comparing and visualizing data. Activity Outline: 1. Introduction (25 minutes): o The Solar System: We started with a video introduction using Crash Course Astronomy #9 to give students a basic understanding of the Solar System. o I asked the students how they imagine the temperatures on different planets, encouraging them to think about which planets are "cold" and which are "hot". o We followed this with a video about The Sun (Crash Course Astronomy #10) to further emphasize the role of the Sun in planetary temperatures. 2. Main Activity (60 minutes): o Researching Planetary Temperatures: Students used Google to explore the average temperatures of the planets in the Solar System. o Class Discussion: Each student drew a card containing the average temperature data of a specific planet (e.g., Mercury: day 430°C, night -180°C). As a group, we discussed why certain planets are hotter (closer to the Sun, lack of atmosphere) or colder (further from the Sun, thick atmosphere). o Plotting Results: After discussing each planet, students recorded the temperature data on a board/chart to create a comparative overview of planetary temperatures. o Interactive Game: Students created an educational game using LearningApps to further reinforce the concepts learned. 3. Conclusion (5 minutes): o I asked students to reflect on what they had learned about planetary temperatures. They were encouraged to explain why some planets are warmer while others are colder. Outcome: Through this activity, students engaged in hands-on learning and teamwork, gaining a solid understanding of basic concepts about planetary temperatures and how distance from the Sun influences them. Participants: 7 students participated in the activity. |
