Help your students build real understanding of structure of the milky way through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
Students will answer questions such as "What does the term 'galactic disk' refer to in the Milky Way?", "What type of galaxy is the Milky Way classified as?", and "What shape best describes the Milky Way Galaxy?"
Because the three worksheets share the same content in three different formats, you can spread them across the week: one for diagnosis, one for practice, and one for assessment, without repeating a single question.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Types of Galaxies and Their, Star Formation and Nebulae, Hertzsprung Russell Diagram, Stellar Life Cycles Low, Galactic Rotation and Dark, and Star Clusters and Galactic, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 9-12 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard HS-ESS1-3.
