This resource turns graphing solar system into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 6-8 earth science, covering the same NGSS standard from three different angles.
Students will answer questions such as "What can be inferred from the slope of a radius vs. mass graph of planets?", "What does a positive trend in a radius vs. mass graph indicate about larger planets?", and "What trend is observed when graphing the mass of planets against their radius?"
Each worksheet reviews the same core ideas from a different angle. Use them across a week or unit so students see the material three times without it ever feeling repetitive.
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.
