English: IK some of the features of Science Fiction.
Science Fiction, or Sci-Fi for short, is a genre of fiction writing that is usually set in our world, or a world like ours, in the future. Watch this video that tells you a little bit more about the features of Sci-Fi.

Now have a look at the Powerpoint I have attached. In it you are asked to think about the features of Science Fiction, think about any books or stories you may know that may be Science Fiction and then read some extracts from famous Science Fiction stories and see if you can work out the year in which they were written.
As a task I would ilke you to produce a short guide, poster or mind-map about Science Fiction, showing me everything you have learned today.
Topic: IK: that the Moon orbits the Earth and the Moon and Earth orbit the Sun.
The Moon is not a planet– it is a celestial body (natural body outside of earth’s atmosphere) -which moves around the earth. This movement is called an ‘orbit’.
When the Moon orbits the Earth (meaning moves around the Earth), it changes the way we see it. You might think the moon goes away during the day time and rises again in the night but this is a common misconception. The moon is always present and it is always spherical, but sometimes we don’t see the entire moon because our view is obstructed from view.

You will find attached a wheel showing the phases of the moon. If you would like to print this and put it together, that would be great. Alternatively, you can try to create your own OR you can draw a picture of each phase of the moon and label it.
