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 1 st 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

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.
