Solar system teaching resources

The solar system is an essential topic in science education, encompassing the Sun, eight major planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other celestial bodies that orbit our star. Understanding the solar system helps students grasp fundamental concepts in astronomy, physics, and Earth sciences, such as gravity, planetary motion, and the conditions that make life possible on Earth. In Canadian classrooms, learning about the solar system aligns with curriculum objectives for science at various grade levels, including space, planetary science, and the exploration of our cosmic neighbourhood.
