Have a look at the following link – Space Jams.
Click on the Science Tab at the top of the site and then look for the Solar System icon. You can then flick through some PowerPoints and complete the quizzes for each topic. See how you go!
Here are some of the projects that children in our class have completed throughout our Space unit. The children were able to choose which of the many activities they would complete as part of their weekly homework.
Check out the good work!
Did you know that Uranus was officially discovered by Sir William Herschel in 1781.
It is too dim to have been seen by the ancients. At first Herschel thought it was a comet, but several years later it was confirmed as a planet. Herscal tried to have his discovery named Georgian Sidus after King George III. The name Uranus was suggested by astronomer Johann Bode. The name comes from the ancient Greek deity Ouranos.

Did you know if you get sucked into a black hole you will be stretched out like a strand of spaghetti. And also, when a light gets sucked in the light disappears. And any thing gets sucked into turns into the black hole dust.
