Description
Welcome! This listing features a two-page activity where students match the eight planets in our solar system to thirty-one numbered descriptions. Students write the names of the planets on the blank lines next to the appropriate description. I provided a planet word bank in a text box in the upper left corner of the front page of the student answer sheet to assist students with spelling difficulties. Students will use the planets more than once. Each numbered description highlights one to two features of the targeted planet. The quantitative and qualitative features of the planets covered in this activity include, but are not limited to the following topics: color, size, density, gas composition, atmospheric storms, atmospheric seasons, temperature, winds, rotation, revolution, tilt, number of moons, presence of rings, distance from the sun, classification [Jovian (gas giant) versus terrestrial], appearance in the earth’s sky, surface features (i.e., dusty, presence of oceans, etc.) and the timing of discovery.
I provided a complete key with the answers in bold red font.
This PDF document will become editable upon conversion to Microsoft Word using an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Program.
