2. EVS
TOPIC: Solar System
PROJECT: Create a Chart, Research Sheet
LEVEL : GRADE 3

3. Project title- Solar System Chart and Research
Project objective-
1. to identify the eight planets of our solar system.
2. to determine the position of each planet from the sun by drawing or sticking pictures to prepare a chart.
3. to find out more about a particular planet.
Materials required-
1. White or black chart paper cut to size required.
2. B/W pictures of the planets.
3. Oil pastels, glue, scissors and waste paper (old newspaper or used sheets of paper)
4. Reference sheet
Procedure-
1. Ask students to name the planets in order from the sun. Teacher will teach them an easy way to
remember the names of the planets. My Very Energetic Mother Just Served Us Nachos. Teacher explains that
the first letter of each word in that acronym represents the name of a planet in relation to the sun.
2. The children are divided into groups of 5. Each group is given a chart paper. They will need to cut the
pictures of the planets provided and colour them.
3. Then the students will crush/crumple the waste paper provided or newspaper and paste it under the
pictures of the planets. This w ill give a 3D effect.
4. Once this done, the students will place and stick the planets on the chart. They will shade the background and
create the space effect. The children will label the planets and also draw the orbits. Each child in the group will
choose a planet of their choice and complete the research sheet. Finally, each group will present their chart
and research.
Project summary-
The project will help develop team spirit and collaborative skills. It will also help enhance spatial abilities in the
children by placing the planets correctly. Through the cutting and crumpling action the motor skills are also
tested. The project also gives the students opportunity to refer, Infer through reference work.
Overall it will involve a lot of fun as it involves art and craft and working independently.

TOPIC: Eco Environment Model
PROJECT: Create Solar Oven
LEVEL : GRADE 5

7. Project title-
Solar Oven
Project objective-
1. to understand use of solar energy.
2. Students will design, create a procedural plan, and test the efficiency of a solar oven
3. Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device.
Materials required- You’ll need a pizza box, scissors, a marker, a ruler, plastic wrap, tape, aluminum foil,
thermometer and black chart paper.
Procedure-
1. Use scissors to cut a flap in the lid of the pizza box. Cut along three sides, leaving about
an inch between the sides of the flap and the edges of the lid. Fold this flap out so that it
stands up when the box lid is closed. (fig. 1)
2. Cover the inner side of the flap with aluminum foil so that it will reflect rays from the
sun. To do this, tightly wrap foil around the flap, then tape it to the back, or outer side of
the flap. (fig. 2)
3. Use clear plastic wrap to create an airtight window for sunlight to enter the box. Do
this by opening the box and taping a double layer of plastic wrap over the opening you
made when you cut the flap in the lid. Leave about an inch of plastic overlap around the
sides and tape each side down securely, sealing out air.
4. Line the bottom of the box with black paper—black absorbs heat. The black surface is
where your food will be set to cook. How much you need will depend on the size of the
pizza box you're using to make your solar oven. (fig4)

8. Procedure-
5. Roll up sheets of newspaper and place them on the bottom of the box for the box
to hold more heat. (fig. 5)
6. Take it outside to a sunny spot and adjust the flap until the most sunlight is
reflecting off the aluminum foil and onto the plastic-covered window. Use a ruler to
prop the flap at the right angle.. (fig. 6)
7. Place food to be cooked or heated in a small container. (fig 7)
8. Keep the thermometer to measure the temperature inside the oven. Measure the
temperature in the box before beginning the activity.
Project Overview
1. Rays of light are coming to the earth at an angle. The foil reflects the ray and
bounces it directly into the opening of the box. Once it has gone through the plastic
wrap, it heats up the air that is trapped inside. The black paper absorbs the heat at
the bottom of the oven, and the newspaper makes sure that the heat stays where it
is, instead of escaping out the sides of the oven.
2. Students will compare the temperatures before the activity and after building the
oven.
3. Students will draw the sketch of the design and record their observations.
