This resource turns classifying solar system objects by into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 6 science, covering the same idea from three different angles.

The set includes questions like "Which planet in our solar system has a thick atmosphere made mostly of carbon dioxide?", "What are the main components of Saturn's rings?", and "What type of celestial body is primarily made of ice and dust that forms a tail when near the Sun?"

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, 27 pages in total

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.
