OUR UNIVERSE

Listen to the Universe song and do the tasks:

1. Write the missing words:

Yakko: Everybody lives on a street in a                                   
Or a   or a   for what it's worth.
And they're all inside a   which is part of a  
That sits upon a planet known as  .
And the   is a ball full of oceans and some  
Which is out there spinning silently in  .
And living on that Earth are the plants and the  

And also the entire human race.

2. Put the lines of the song into the correct order:
 We're just tiny little specks

 And we are small and dinky                                        

 It's a great big universe

 About the size of Mickey Rooney.

 It's big and black and inky

 And we are all really puny

 It's a big universe and we're not.

3. Unscramble the words in the following lines:

And we're part of a vast interplanetary ysstme
Stretching seven ddherun  billion miles long.
With nine planets and a nsu ; we think the Earth's the only one
That has life on it, although we could be rwgno .
Across the interstellar voids are a billion oadisrtes
Including meteors and Halley's omcet  too.
And there's over fifty soomn  floating out there like balloons
In a panoramic trillion-mile view.

4. Choose the correct word:
And still it's all a speck amid a hundred billion marscarsstars
In a galaxyfantasydifficulty we call the Milky Way.
It's sixty thousand trillion tilesmilesfiles from one end to the other
And still that's just a fraction of the wayawaylay.
'Cause there's a hundred billion fantasiesgalaxiesdifficulties that stretch across the sky
Filled with complementsobstaclesconstellations, planets, moons and stars.
And still the universe extends to a place that never ends
Which is maybe just inside a little yeargearjar!

YW+D : It's a great big universe
And we're all really puny
We're just tiny little specks
About the size of Mickey Rooney.
* Though we don't know how it got here
* We're an important part here
* It's a big universe and it's ours!
