Add More Informative Fields to Planet Activity

[Devmoni]

Description:

Currently, the Planet Activity provides decent information about planets, but it can be enhanced to cater to the curiosity of younger children. Children often show great interest in planetary systems and adding more details would make the activity more engaging and educational.

• Formation: How the planet was formed.
• Atmosphere: Composition and features of the atmosphere.
• Potential for Life: Possibility of life or habitable conditions.
• Interesting Facts: Unique and fun facts about the planet.

This will make the activity more engaging and educational for children, sparking their curiosity about planetary systems.

That sound a bit complex for young children.

I would like to suggest incorporating some fascinating facts, such as how the length of a day on other planets compares to Earth, the origin of their names (often inspired by gods), and details about their surface composition (e.g., Jupiter is primarily made of gas).
Please note, I’m not proposing something too complex or difficult to understand; the information can be presented in a way that is accessible and engaging for young children.

Thanks.

Additionally I would like to propose an idea for this activity.

Currently, it focuses on providing information about the planets in our solar system.
a) We could rename it to ‘Solar System’ and include information about the Sun as well.
b) Alternatively, we could create a new activity dedicated to various stars, offering more depth on the topic.

What are your thoughts on this? @llaske

Thanks :)

I don't think adding more information is interesting.

Alternatively, we could create a new activity dedicated to various stars, offering more depth on the topic

There is already in Sugarizer a Constellation activity related to stars.

Thank you for the feedback.

I'm suggesting that we could consider adding information about the Sun, as it would be highly beneficial, especially for children. As the most important component of our solar system, understanding the Sun could greatly enhance the learning experience.
(Just like Moon activity)

Because the constellation activity only displays various patterns.
