Unit focus
- describe the movement of Earth and other planets relative to the sun and model how Earth’s tilt, rotation on its axis and revolution around the sun…
- exploring simulations of the solar system such as a pocket solar system to appreciate the distances and relationships between the sun and planets
- recognising the role of gravity in keeping the planets in orbit around the sun
