This resource turns what space missions measure into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 9-12 earth science, covering the same idea from three different angles.
The set includes questions like "Which instrument on the Mars rover Curiosity is used to analyze soil and rock samples?", "What does the instrument called the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) measure?", and "Which mission used radar to map the surface of Venus?"
All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
This set is part of a standards aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Classifying Solar System, Rocky and Gas Rich Worlds, Small Bodies Comets, Dwarf Planets and Composition, Data to Compare Planetary, and a Model of Solar System, 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 Virginia SOL standard ES.2d.
