Ancient Astronomy
Our ideas about the Solar System and space have changed over time. People have looked to the skies for thousands of years. They have looked at the movement of the stars and the changes of the Sun and Moon.
Design a Planet
There are 8 planets in our Solar System. And there are many thousands of planets orbiting around other stars. We call these planets exoplanets.
Colour Your Space
Spending time focusing on one task can help you to relax. Colouring is a great way to spend some time on a calm and creative activity.
Use your imagination to add colour to these colouring sheets. Choose from Space Exploration, Planets, or Telescopes. Or why not complete all 3?!
Stars and Stories
Have you ever looked at the stars at night and seen pictures in them? The imaginary pictures in the stars are called constellations.
