What makes our planet so special?

A lesson looking at what makes our planet habitable. Based loosely on the geog.1 textbook.

Lesson includes-

• a video with gap fill exercise
• an activity based upon the premise of the imminent destruction of earth by a meteorite. Students have to rank 5 potential new planets in order of how habitable they are for humanity to resettle on based upon factors such as how close they are to a star, their size, availability of water and atmospheric content.
• A template for a letter to NASA outlining the student’s top choice of planet and reasons why it is the best option for humans to resettle on.
• Fully resourced.
