Available only to premium members

Overview:

A cut and paste activity where students match each planet to three facts. This activity helps reinforce their knowledge of the planets and their unique features. Designed for middle and upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the key facts about each planet in the solar system.
  • Strengthen matching and reasoning skills by connecting facts to their corresponding planets.
  • Improve understanding of planet characteristics, such as size, composition, and unique features.

How the Activity Works:

Students cut out the facts and planets from the provided sheets. They then match each planet to three corresponding facts, based on characteristics like size, speed, or special features (e.g. "The fastest spinning planet" or "The second largest planet"). Once the facts are matched, students glue them next to the appropriate planet. This activity encourages critical thinking and helps students retain important details about each planet.
