It sounds like you’ve created an engaging and dynamic approach to teaching the planets! Integrating music, movement, and hands-on activities will definitely capture the students’ interest and cater to different learning styles. I love how you’re starting with a discussion about the students’ place in the world before expanding to the solar system—it really helps them grasp the concept of scale. The use of hula hoops to represent planetary rotation is a creative way to make learning both fun and interactive. The exploration stations also provide a great opportunity for students to apply their knowledge in a tactile and visual way.
