Earth is the only planet which support life for humans, plants and animals.
The Earth is round in shape.
Blue colour planet
A Globe is a Model of Earth
It shows that Earth has 2 parts
More than half of the Earth is covered with Water
Rest is Land
LAND
We live on Land
We grow food on Land (like wheat, rice, fruits and vegetables)
Our Houses are made on land
Buses, Cars, Cycles and Trains are move on land.
Land is not same everywhere, some part of it are flat, they are called plains.
Water is all over the earth. It is in rivers, lakes and oceans. When the sun heats the water in the rivers, lakes, and oceans, the water turns into clouds. … When the rain or snow falls on the earth, it waters the trees and plants and fills the rivers, lakes and oceans.
Day and Night
Earth moves around sun
Sunrises at morning it’s called Day time.
Sunsets at evening and Moon appears it’s called Night time.
Earth is rotating on its axis (N- North pole and S- South pole)
Axis is the imaginary line from North pole through the centre of the Earth to South pole.

Planet Earth – Our Planet
Beautiful Earth, home to plants, animals and humans, is the third planet from the Sun. It’s the fifth largest planet. Some of the other planets have atmospheres, seasons and even water, but only Earth combines all these elements in just the right way. Earth is the only place in the solar system where life is known to be found.
What is special about the Earth?
To enable life, this most special of attributes, planet Earth has a number of ideal features. It is unique among planets in our solar system for having water in its liquid form at the surface, in an amount conducive to life evolving.
How much of Earth is land and water?
About 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water;29% of it is land. The oceans hold about 96.5% of all Earth’s water.
What is the difference between land and water?
Land is solid with a fixed shape. … Water is a fluid; it easily changes shape to fit whatever space contains it. Although we think of land as being “dry”, land, or solid material is actually continuous underneath all bodies of water. Lakes, rivers, and oceans actually cover land.
Earth Vocabulary
Axis Of Earth
Earth rotates on an axis point. An axis is an imaginary line an object turns around. This imaginary line runs directly through the object’s center, from the north to the south poles. Although we can’t feel the Earth spinning, it makes one complete turn, each day, around its own axis.

Solar System Song (tune to “The Farmer in the Dell”)
“The Earth turns around. The Earth turns around.
Once a day, every day, the Earth turns around.
The moon goes round the Earth. The moon goes round the Earth.
Once a month, every month, the moon goes round the Earth.
The Earth goes round the sun. The Earth goes round the sun.
Once a year, every year, the Earth goes round the sun.”
What purpose does the moon have?
The brightest and largest object in our night sky, the Moon makes Earth a more livable planet by moderating our home planet’s wobble on its axis, leading to a relatively stable climate. It also causes tides, creating a rhythm that has guided humans for thousands of years

Earth Day
Earth, our home, is the third planet from the sun. It’s the only planet known to have an atmosphere containing free oxygen, oceans of water on its surface and, of course, life. Earth is the fifth largest of the planets in the solar system.The earth consists of rocks, minerals, soil and landforms such as mountains. The earth is also covered with water, in the form of oceans, lakes and rivers. The planet Earth is part of the solar system that circles around the sun. It is surrounded by an atmosphere with layers. Introduce the new words such as atmosphere and solar system.
Why is Earth called a unique planet?
Earth is the only planet in our solar system that has a large amount of liquid water. About 74% of the surface of Earth is covered by liquid or frozen water. Because of this, people sometimes call it “blue planet”. Because of its water, Earth is home to millions of species of plants and animals.
Named Planet Earth
The answer is, we don’t know. The name “Earth” is derived from both English and German words, ‘eor(th)e/ertha’ and ‘erde’, respectively, which mean ground. But, the handle’s creator is unknown. One interesting fact about its name: Earth is the only planet that wasn’t named after a Greek or Roman god or goddess.
Who is the mother of the earth?
She is described as Mother Earth, Mother Nature, or the Creatress of all life. She is associated with the full moon and stars, the Earth, and the sea. In Wicca, the Earth Goddess is sometimes called Gaia. The name of the mother goddess varies depending on the Wiccan tradition.
The Solar System includes the Sun, the Earth (where you are now!) and all of the other planets
Four layers of the atmosphere:
Layer 1: Weather conditions, cold at the poles
Layer 2: Airplanes travel, ozone absorbs the sun’s harmful rays
Layer 3: Meteors burn, radio waves travel
Layer 4: The area known as space
Divide the class into four groups and assign each group to work on a layer of the earth’s atmosphere, by handing each group science magazines with pictures of the related items. For example, the group that is working on the first layer, should cut out pictures and create a collage of weather related pictures. The next group should work on the second layer with airplanes, etc.

Weather And Climates
The Sun plays the major role in Earth’s weather and climate.
Climate is not the same as weather, but rather, it is the average pattern of weather for a particular region.Weather describes the short-term state of the atmosphere. The atmosphere covers the Earth. It is a thin layer of mixed gases which make up the air we breathe.
What is the difference of weather and climate?
Whereas weather refers to short-term changes in the atmosphere, climate describes what the weather is like over a long period of time in a specific area. Different regions can have different climates.
The four main attributes affecting climates are;
Climate is the average weather conditions in a place over a long period of time—30 years or more. And as you probably already know, there are lots of different types of climates on Earth.
For example, hot regions are normally closest to the equator. The climate is hotter there because the Sun’s light is most directly overhead at the equator. And the North and South Poles are cold because the Sun’s light and heat are least direct there.
