Give your earth science students a focused look at solar system size comparison with ninety questions built for real classroom use, whether you are starting a new unit or reviewing before a test.
Sample questions include "Which planet has a diameter closest to that of Earth?", "If you compare the diameters of Earth and Mars, which is true?", and "Which planet is often mistaken for being larger than it is due to its brightness?"
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, Building a Scale Model, Surface Features of Planets, Planet Layers and Density, Data Interpretation, and Graphing Solar System, 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.
