Start the lesson with an engaging question: 'What do you think happens when a rock from space enters Earth's atmosphere?' This will spark curiosity and set the stage for the topic.

Introduce the topic by showing a brief video titled 'What objects can be found in our solar system?' to provide an overview of asteroids, meteoroids, and comets.

Explain the characteristics and composition of asteroids, focusing on their size range and location in the solar system, particularly the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Discuss the differences between meteoroids, meteors, and meteorites, and describe the processes they undergo when entering Earth's atmosphere.

Watch the video 'The Solar System' to understand the broader context of where asteroids, meteoroids, and comets fit within our solar system.

Guide students through a discussion on the significance of Ceres as the largest object in the asteroid belt and its potential for signs of life.

Have students create models of comets using common materials to demonstrate the formation of a coma and tail when near the Sun.

Engage students in a crater-making activity using flour and small rocks to simulate meteoroid impacts on planetary surfaces.

Assign the worksheet 'Asteroids, Meteoroids and Comets – Comprehension' to reinforce key concepts learned in the lesson.

Conduct a quick quiz using the 'Try the Quiz' button to assess students' understanding of the differences between asteroids, meteoroids, and comets.

Encourage students to reflect on what they have learned by writing a short paragraph about the most interesting fact they discovered about asteroids, meteoroids, or comets.
