This Earth and Space Sciences unit explores the concept that Earth is part of a system of planets orbiting around a star (the sun).
It consists of 8 lessons of approximately 60 minutes duration.
The sequence of lessons and suggested time frames should be regarded as a guide only; teachers should pace lessons in accordance with the individual learning needs of their class.
An assessment task for monitoring student understanding of the unit objectives is included and will require an additional lesson.
Teachers are encouraged to collect samples of students’ work throughout the unit to add to a learning portfolio. These can also be used to assess students’ understanding of the unit objectives.

Thank you for this fantastic unit. I am having trouble with the files for lessons 4-5. I have tried several different ways to download them but my computer states they are corrupt or harmful.
