Unit Plan The Solar System

This document outlines a geography and history unit plan for 1st year secondary students (1o ESO) on the topic of the Earth in the solar system. The unit will focus on key components of the solar system, the Earth's movements and their effects, and maps and other representations of the Earth's surface. Learning activities include drawing a scale model of the solar system, comparing the Earth's movements, and explanations using models to demonstrate celestial bodies' sizes. Students will develop their understanding of the solar system and Earth's place within it.
