Learning about the Solar System? .
Yes, today we are sharing a fun filled activity for learning solar system. Each and every child have unique way of learning styles which makes them different from the other.
- Some children, read the book, understand the concept and learn, write the concepts thoroughly.
- Few loves only to read and learn the concepts but doesn't show interest in writing.
- Few will only love to write down their learnt concepts, doesn't show interest in telling or explaining or reading loudly.
and there are many more learning approaches or unique styles.
Classroom observation or attending the whole session without distraction plays an important role in child's learning process.
- Some children will observe the teacher teaching in the class. Try to make notes or points to remember, read the learnt concepts back in home. Encourage such children to work more on making journals of their regular classroom activities to support their learning style.
- Few may not able to recollect the learning in the classroom, they don't remember the concepts. It doesn't mean that the child is having a learning difficulty or disability. Some of these children will be able to understand the concepts when taught through visuals of the concepts either by a drawing or videos or pictures.
In general, whatever may be their learning style, hands on experience activities by themselves will definitely make children to remember things better.
My son painted the Solar System, using finger prints and recollected the concepts thought in his class. He was able to rightly label the planets in order, spoke about the planets and galaxy. Here, comes how he created the solar system.
Materials Required :
Waste transparent snack box case
Poster colours
Steps Followed:
Clean the case. Dry it out. Draw concentric circles. Colour mark the planets using finger prints and decorate the system with stars.
Allow it to dry for 20 minutes and then label the planets.
Solar system is ready to study. Recreate your solar system and share your experience, how much you enjoyed the activity.

Beautiful - I appreciate your understanding and patience. You have taken the extra effort to teach the child using creative methods. I wish more teachers would do this and help children. Its rare to see teachers who find alternatives other than just talk and chalk.
