Sharking Japanese Clip



Yesterday we were doing a little math with images of planets taken from here. We started ordered from smallest to largest size. It is the first time ordering "something" for size. At the time we did a couple of activities on small, medium and large, but nothing more, so that While I was proposing the activity that was surely difficult to sort the 9 images for the first time. I was wrong, as shown in the picture.






then ordered from closest to farthest from the sun. As images of the sun had not made a plasticine. To order we were looking at the picture of the solar system from a book and got help to put all the planets. By way of note is that Pluto is "debate", but as astronomers decide they do with it, it will continue to consider home planet.

Having the book Ariam on the table asked me what was explained. On each page Ariam sought halab world that is on the cards and put the image on the book, so we were going over the names. These were some things we talked about.

- Mercury : is covered with mountains and craters, with accompanying explanation of what a crater. Is the planet closest to the sun.

- Venus: it is the brightest planet (though the planets do not have their own light.) We can see without a telescope. Every night trying to find Venus in the night sky.

- Earth: the planet in which we live. It has a satellite called the moon. Is mostly covered with water.

- Mars, is known as the red planet has the tallest volcano in the solar system, Olympus.

- Jupiter: The largest planet in the solar system. Its windstorms can last a long time (hundreds of years). It's bigger than all the planets together. In the image looks like check it, but to cut them better understand what the planets around and repeat it, since Saturn is also worth)

- Saturn : Their rings are made of ice and rocks.

- Uranus and Neptune : they are twin planets.

- Pluto: the smallest and furthest from the sun. It is a dwarf planet.

From time absorbed much of the information, we will be reviewing and expanding things while still showing the same enthusiasm for subject.
