As a teacher I have consciously chosen the topic of our solar system for my class (1<sup>st</sup> grade, 6-7 age ) in order to boost their willingness to explore fascinating questions regarding it. Very early, every morning, they look up at the sky and they point at the moon. They wonder how it is like. This topic gives incentives to students to learn more about life. It helps them appreciate the Earth. It gives them the motivation to preserve and respect our natural resources.</p><p>Young students certainly will get to know the planets, their order, size and more, but my main target is to enhance their curiosity about Knowledge. We will learn new terms that are linked to the solar system through interactive, interesting and funny activities to boost comprehension. Using a combination of illustrations, books, videos, worksheets and crafts is an excellent way to introduce children in simple concept and lessons. Then common activities will follow including coloring the planets, putting them in order and creating a model of the solar system.</p><p>There are a number of subjects worth exploring (planets, moon, satellites, spacecrafts, telescopes, stars, Earth, sun). My students will form groups and each group will choose the subject that excites it and focus on it.</p><p>I have already scheduled a visit to the National Observatory of Athens which will mark the end of this project.</p><p>&#160;I would like to finish this abstract by paraphrasing Neil Armstrong: "one small incentive for a student, one giant step for the future scientists ".</p><p>&#160;</p>
