1. Solar Systyem Activity
Solar system Project during summer primary to secondary:
For each planet (plus the sun) explain: order of position, climate, colour,
relative size, moons, and any other interesting characteristics of each of
them.
Jewellery Joint Primary-Secondary Project
In year 6: Primary students make a false jewel, choose a mineral /stone/
metal, and find out where its found and what uses it has. They must keep
the jewel and the information they have found at home for further use the
next year. Primary teachers will assess the quality of the work so far.
In 1st ESO, the same students one year after: Secondary students then
print an image of the real thing and find out characteristics: hardness,
malleability, lustre, transparency, texture, tenacity, etc... They can explain
why it is classified as a mineral/rock/metal/precious stone. This can be
done at the same time as they study the unit on rocks and minerals. They
will be expected to bring the work they did in Primary, and present the

2. project as a whole to be evaluated by the secondary teachers. Alternatively,
students coming from other primary schools can simply add the
information (where its found and what uses it has) but will not be expected
to produce a replica of the false jewel.
