6 Find out about a planet in our solar system. 
Write a factfile about it.
•
Use the example project in the Student’s Book to present 
factfile
. Copy the text on the board: 
Planet name: Venus 
Size: about the same as Earth 
Position from the Sun: second from Sun 
Orbit around the Sun: 225 days 
Fun fact: Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system.
•
Ask questions and explain any new language in the 
answers, e.g., 
What’s the name of the planet? 
(
Venus.
)
 
How big is Venus? 
(
It’s the same size as Earth.
)
 How long 
is its orbit of the Sun? 
(
225 days.
)
•
Students choose a planet (it can be the same one as they 
chose for activity 5 in the previous lesson, but it shouldn’t 
be Venus). They work with books or class computers to 
research their planet, noting down information using the 
same headings as the example project. They can also 
add new headings for other information they want to 
include, e.g., 
Moons
.
•
If students have access to class computers, they can 
produce the factfile on the computer, copying and 
pasting a digital picture of their planet and labeling it 
with a text box.
•
If students aren’t using computers, they draw, cut out 
and stick their picture of the planet onto paper and write 
the information about it.
•
Students present their factfile to the class. This can be 
done using their digital file on the interactive whiteboard 
or by presenting and describing their written work to
the class.
•
The completed projects can then be displayed in the 
classroom or kept in digital folders.
