Teacher: "Good morning, class! Look at this picture on the board. [Shows a stunning image of the night sky with planets]. Last week, scientists announced they found a new 'exoplanet' far away! Today, we are going to be space explorers too. Our mission is to learn about the planets in our own solar system. Before we start, I want you to think: Based on the picture and what you might already know, can you predict which planet is closest to the Sun? Which one do you think is the largest? Turn to your partner and share your predictions in 30 seconds."
After partner talk: "Okay, let's hear some predictions! [Takes 2-3 answers]. Great ideas! Let's find out if you are right during our lesson." |
Students observe the image. They listen to the teacher's hook. They discuss predictions with a partner using simple phrases (e.g., "I think Mercury is close." "Biggest is Jupiter?"). Volunteers share predictions with the class. |
Descriptors (no points):

Interactive whiteboard/projector. High-resolution image of the solar system/night sky. News headline about exoplanet discovery (simplified). AI Tool: DALL-E or Midjourney generated image of an "exoplanet" to create a modern, engaging hook. |
