Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to select and describe sounds that might be heard on different planets and a template to choose and record illustrations and vocabulary to describe pieces of music reflecting different planets in the Solar System.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to respond to different pieces of music used to express ideas about space travel.

This lesson is part of a music scheme of work to get the children to identify, describe and compose rhythm patterns and musical compositions to illustrate moods and objects connected to space when visiting other planets. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
