The Earth and the universe. Session 1
OBJECTIVES
• To understand that the universe is made of celestial
bodies and the space.
• Distinguish among stars, galaxies and constellations.
• To know the Milky Way.
The Big Bang Theory says that all the matter in the universe was once together in one place. Then the matter exploded and billions of particles travelled in all directions. Later, these particles formed the different celestial bodies.
CELESTIAL BODIES
This is a star.
This is a planet.
This is a satellite.
THE SUN.
THE EARTH.
THE MOON.
A star is a spherical celestial body. It’s made of gases and it produces enormous quantities of light and heat .
We can classify stars by their colour and size :
Stars can be white, yellow, red or a combination of those colours. For example, the Sun
is a yellow star.
A large star is called a giant. A small star, like the Sun, is
called a dwarf.
COLOUR SIZE
The Sun is the closest star to the Earth.
A galaxy is an enormous group of stars and other celestial bodies. They look like clouds .
The universe contains billions of galaxies. One of these galaxies is the ‘Via Lactea’ or Milky Way. Our sun is a star in the Milky Way, so we are in this galaxy.
Galaxies have got different shapes: elliptical, spiral and irregular.
elliptical spiral irregular
The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy.
Orion Arm
Constellations are groups of stars that have particular shapes .
Let’s watch a video about constellations!

Other celestial bodies in our solar system:
Other celestial bodies in our solar system: - Asteroids are bodies of rock, but they are smaller than planets. The majority of the are part of an ‘asteroid belt’ between Mars and Jupiter.
Other celestial bodies in our solar system: - Asteroids are bodies of rock, but they are smaller than planets. The majority of the are part of an ‘asteroid belt’ between Mars and Jupiter.
- Comets are bodies of rock and ice . They revolve around the Sun in very long orbits. When comets come near the Sun, they produce a bright tail of water and gas.
Halley’s comet appeared in 1986. The next time it makes an appearance will be in 2061.

- Meteorites are small pieces of rock from asteroids and comets that travel through space. When meteorites enter the Earth’s atmosphere, they burn and produce a bright tail of light. They are also called shooting stars.
The Earth and the universe. Session 2
Order these planets by their distance from the Sun, from the closes to the farthest. 1
Mars – Jupiter – the Earth Uranus – Venus - Saturn
Copy the true sentences into your notebook. 2 a) Asteroids are celestial bodies with a bright tail. b) Meteorites are parts of asteroids that travel
through space. c) The largest planet in the solar system is
Jupiter. d) Mercury is the farthest planet from the Sun.
Correct the false sentences from exercise 2. 3

EXTRA CREDIT QUESTION: In which direction does the Earth spin (rotation), clockwise or
anticlockwise?
The Earth orbits the Sun. We can call this movement ‘revolution’.

The revolution of the Earth and its tilted axis causes the seasons.
Every second, that you sit in this classroom, the
Earth's orbital motion carries you about 30
kilometres through space.
Identify the motion being shown in each of these pictures. Each team must write their answers for each
figure in the form of a question.
