The document provides a detailed lesson plan for teaching Grade 4 students about the solar system. The lesson plan includes objectives, materials, methodology, and assessment. The teacher will introduce the topic of the solar system through a game to motivate students. The teacher will then discuss each planet, their order from the Sun, and key facts. Students will participate through questions and by drawing and labeling the solar system. To evaluate learning, the teacher will give a short quiz. For homework, students will draw and explain their favorite planet. The goal is for students to understand the makeup of the solar system.
