Thank you for your answers.

5. Checking the home task.

Teacher: We start our trip with Earth. Let’s recall everything we have already known about our amazing planet.

(На дошці макет сонця, зелі та місяця. Діти читають текст, який було задано додому).

Reading.

Earth is the fifth largest of the eight main planets in the solar system.

It's the third planet from the Sun. The Sun is just one of many stars in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Earth looks blue from space because it is covered with water. There are four oceans on the Earth: the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian and the Arctic.

Earth is very old, it’s 4,600 million years. There are brown mountains, green hills, blue seas and lakes on it. Earth is heavy, it weighs 597 million tons. The Moon is the nearest neighbor of Earth. People, animals and birds live happily on Earth.

(Handout)

Task 1. Crossword

1. Down: 

This planet is a gas giant. It has rings.

2.This planet is the second from the Sun.

3.This planet is the closest to the Sun and the smallest in the Solar System.

4.This planet is the third from the sun. This is the planet we live on.

2.This planet is the largest in the Solar System.

3.This planet is the furthest from the Sun.

4.The colour of this planet is red.

5.It used to be called the ninth planet in the Solar System.

Task 2. Read the text and label the planets.

The planet nearest to the sun is Mercury. It's the fastest planet. It goes around the sun very quickly. But it is not the hottest planet. Venus is the hottest planet and it is second nearest to the sun. The third planet is Earth. It's the most beautiful planet in the solar system. The next planet is Mars. It's smaller than Earth.

The first four planets are made of rock. Next to Mars is the biggest planet, Jupiter. It's made of gas, not rock. Jupiter hasn't got one moon like Earth, it's got sixteen! The planet with the most moons is Saturn. It's got more than sixty moons! It's the sixth furthest from the sun and there are rings round it. They're rings of ice! Next is Uranus. It's four times bigger than Earth. Then comes Neptune. It's blue and beautiful. There are often storms on Neptune. The last planet, furthest from the sun, is Pluto. Pluto is the smallest planet. It's smaller than our moon and it's the coldest planet too. Some people think Pluto isn't a planet because it's very small.
