Lesson plan

1. Recap and recall

Arrange the class into pairs and ask them to share their mnemonics (from Lesson 2: Our Solar System) to help them remember the order of the planets with their partner.

Select some volunteers to share their mnemonics with the class. After each mnemonic, ask the class to repeat the order of the planets.
