Space, celestial bodies and the universe

Revision poster on space, celestial bodies and our universe (suitable for GCSE, iGCSE or Junior Cycle Science)

This poster/chart covers key scientific concepts on:

• astronomy, celestial bodies and outer space
• our solar planet discussed in detail and images to show order of planets, moon, comets, asteroids, gaseous and rocky planets and our star(the sun)
• the role of the star(s) in the solar system
• description of the moon, comets and asteroids
• concerns highlighted on the danger of asteroids hitting our planet Earth
• The Big Bang Theory
• Space exploration

My students stick this revision poster/chart into their copy book at the start or end of the chapter content delivery. I use these revision posters to show students the importance of chunk revising. They spend time recalling/memorising the key-points; some students will create their own revision resource to suit their learning style by using this content eg. a mind-map, flash cards and some create their own audio recordings to help.

The template can be edited by you to change content or to add some challenge (e.g. sometimes before I photocopy this poster I will delete some of the keywords and get students to identify the missing keywords.)
