We really enjoyed our space unit study in the Spring of 2021. Our kids were just preschoolers then, so we really had a lot of fun exploring this topic. We used books, television shows and documentaries, and several fun hands on activities to learn different facts about our solar system.
We explored the moon’s phases.
We learned about the planets rotating and revolving around the sun.
We studied constellations, and made some of our own using marshmallows and pretzel sticks.
And we had lots of fun learning qualities of different planets and songs to remember them! Check out the planets song from Blues Clues and You if you’d like a catchy way to remember them!
I’d love to share some more of the things we did to explore the solar system in our unit study! Don’t miss this FREE one page unit study cheat sheet! You can download all my outer space unit studies ideas for free here!
And if you use unit studies to homeschool, but aren’t interested in space, I have tons of other ideas on our unit study page!
