The Universe and its components

The Solar System is made up of the Sun and the celestial bodies that revolve around it. The Sun is a star. The Sun is much bigger than any planet. The Sun is very important for life on Earth because it gives out light and heat.

There are different types of celestial bodies: planets, satellites, comets and asteroids.

There are eight planets which orbit the Sun. These planets can be classified into two groups:

• Interior planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. They are small and rocky. They receive more heat and light from the Sun

• Exterior planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are larger than the interior planets. They are made up of gases.

Satellites are celestial bodies that orbit the planets. The Moon is the Earth’s satellite.

Comets are celestial bodies that orbit the Sun. Comets are made up of ice, dust and gases. Comets have a bright tail that reflects light.

Asteroids are celestial bodies that orbit the Sun. Asteroids are smaller than planets. Most of the asteroids are in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids can be round or can have an irregular shape.

Stars are celestial bodies. Stars are spheres. Stars give out light and heat. Stars have different properties such as temperature, size and luminosity. From the Earth, we can see the stars like points of light in the sky because they are really far away.

Constellations are groups of stars. Most constellations have names from mithology because they look like people, animals or objects.

Nebulae are gas clouds. Nebulae reflect the light given out by the stars next to them.

Galaxies are huge groups of stars, gases and dust. There are three types of galaxies: elliptical, spiral or irregular.

Our Solar System is in a galaxy called the Milky Way. It is a spiral galaxy. The Sun is not at the centre of the Milky Way.

Introduction Unit 1

“The Universe and the Solar System” topic will be implemented during 5 weeks. However, the objectives that will be worked in our CLIL project will be implemented during 3 months, two session per week (9 session) . Each session will last 50 minutes.

Learning outcomes:

1. Define the Universe and each of the elements that form it, such as stars, galaxies, planets, satellites, comets, asteroids.

2. Identify the solar system planets and its characteristics.

3. Explain the earth and moon rotation movements and relate the rotation movements with the seasons.

4.  Explain what Solar and Lunar eclipses are.

5. Identify the stages of the moon.

6. Explain the negative effects of the solar radiations in human health.

7. Explain what constellations are and identify the most important ones.
