This resource turns how solar system ideas change with new 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 "Why is it significant that scientists found organic molecules on comets?", "What did the discovery of Ceres in the asteroid belt lead to?", and "Why is the study of asteroids important for understanding the solar system?"
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 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.d.
