Aim. Learn how the planets revolve around the sun through a game where students assume roles of the different planets, one student being the sun and another the other planets that revolve around the sun.

 

Lesson duration: 30-45 minutes

                                                         A. Initial phase

With this phase it is intended that the teacher makes use of technologies to motivate the student

1. Activity. Watch a video about the rotation of the planets

See ling of the video:

Match the word rotation and translation with the picture

C.            Evaluative phase

It is intended to assess the stored knowledge achieved by students
