Hi,
I have been searching the Internet for some lesson plans revolving around space, space travel and the planets.
I can only find some monster related ones on onestopenglish.
Has anyone else had any better luck or come across any lately that might help?

I don't even have a class yet, I don't have any worksheets to offer, and I don't know what level they are at, but I have worked with kids before. I am always a fan of creativity. How about have them make up their own planet and describe it? Seems like it can be really simple if they are young, or more descriptive and indepth if they are older.

I just felt like offering since I am mostly asking questions. Cheers if that helps and cheers if it doesn't. =)

it does, I came back to add, its for elementary level.
I am surprised, I thought there would be lots of stuff as this is a topic that attracts kids...I hope there are some sites I have missed.

If you have some room, this is a cool exercise:

http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/solar_system/

It's a scale model of the solar system. With the sun 1 cm in diameter, Neptune is 32.3 m away. You'll have to build your own lesson around it though.

Go to www.nasa.gov and look under "For Educators". They have many lessons and projects for K-12, some of which can be adapted.

Also, I co-wrote an information package for Brian Feeney and the spaceship Wildfire, a DaVinci project entry toward the X-Prize. It explains about pioneering, exploration, and Canadians in space. Finally it discusses future potential jobs for citizens in space.

If you are interested, email me with your regular email address and I'll send you a pdf copy of that. it is not a workbook....but you could make questions to go along with the information to make it more developed as a work package for your students' level.
