This resource turns explain scale and solar into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 6-8 earth science, covering the same NGSS standard from three different angles.

Sample questions include "Which planet is known for having the most moons?", "What is the primary gas in the atmosphere of Mars?", and "Which planet is often called Earth's twin due to its similar size?"

What's Inside?

• 30 Multiple Choice questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• 30 True or False questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• 30 Short Answer questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• Includes Answer Key with Explanations for all 90 questions
• 6 print ready PDF files, 25 pages in total

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.

Ways to Use This Resource

• No prep cover lesson for a substitute teacher
• Self checking practice, since every answer key includes explanations
• Homework or review before a test
• Bell ringers and warm ups during the unit
• First look diagnostic to plan your unit

This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Scale in Space, Solar System Size Comparison, Building a Scale Model, Surface Features of Planets, Planet Layers and Density, and Data Interpretation, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.

Suitable for Grade 6-8 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-ESS1-3.
