Kids Planets
Awesome activity for students, online with interactive games that responds to the students answers and lets them self correct.
Level 1 is for 3rd and 4th grades. It is basic information about the solar system and the plants. Teachers can save the address and students can get on to play while learning about the solar system. A huge bonus is that it talks to the student and key vocabulary is highlighted. Level 2 is for 4th and 5th graders. Students will be challenged by the activities and learn through their explorations. This site is directly related to the standard in 3rd grade by having students label the planets, stars, sun, and moon. Fourth and fifth grades are represented on this site because it gives the picture of a star map and the students have to match it as an activity. Patterns are established and represented on the site as a part of the solar system. Both levels have a wonderfully extensive glossary for information that is presented.
