Label Planets of the Solar System (with Support)

Overview:

A worksheet where students label a diagram of the solar system, using the first letter of each planet’s name as a clue. Suitable for middle and upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the planets in the solar system.
• Strengthen knowledge of the order and names of the planets.
• Develop independent learning skills by using clues to complete the diagram.

How the Activity Works:

Students are provided with a diagram of the solar system, showing the planets in their correct positions. The first letter of each planet’s name is given as a clue to help them label the planets accurately. Students will write the full name of each planet next to the appropriate space on the diagram. This activity provides support through the use of the first letter, helping students successfully label the planets while reinforcing their understanding of the solar system’s structure.
