This resource turns data to rank planets by size and orbit into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 6 science, covering the same idea from three different angles.
Students will answer questions such as "Which planet has the shortest year, meaning it orbits the Sun the fastest?", "Which planet has a very strong magnetic field?", and "Which two planets are gas giants?"
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.
This set is part of a standards aligned science unit. The unit also covers Matter in the Solar System What’s Out, Classifying Solar System Objects by, Planet Profiles Size and Distance, Orbit Distance and What It Tells Us, Gravity as the Driver of Orbiting, and Orbital Motion with Gravity, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6 science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to Virginia SOL standard 6.2.b.
