#1 - “I HAVE…WHO HAS…” SPACE & PLANET CARD WITH WEBQUEST

This assignment is a set of 33 "I have...Who has" cards focusing on Space & Planets.

This is a simple whole class read aloud activity that covers a variety of topics with good information. Each student receives a card on a topic. The class then reads in the correct sequence the cards calling out what item they have and the information provided. This is then followed by leading a question toward what the next correct topic should be. Great to encourage active reading and listening with all students.

I Have Cards are a simple way to cover information in a short amount of time and to build toward deeper understanding.

WEBQUEST FOLLOW-UP INCLUDED: Often I use these cards as a precursor to individual webquests where students find more information on their card topic to then share with the class or in small groups.

#2 - PLANETS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM POWER POINT

This power point presentation will enhance any lesson focusing on some or all of the major planets.

51 slides cover: Planet Orbit, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Asteroid Belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Beyond...

Each planet has five slides of information covering: history, moons, rotation & revolution, characteristics, size comparison to Earth, and more... Each section of the power point also has links to various online videos (2-10 minute lengths) on the topics. If you like to have your students take notes, the power point and video are perfect!

This assignment is a Space & Planets Vocabulary Criss-Cross Puzzle. Students are given 28 terms connecting to the topic. First they must correctly figure out where each term fits into the vocab grid based on word length. Second students must sort the terms correctly into four boxes based on what the term most closely connects to: planets, moons, human space technology, or deep space. *ANSWER KEY FOR BOTH SIDES IS PROVIDED*

My students love these worksheets and I often will use them as a precursor to a vocabulary game or as a guide before a test/quiz.

Students love this planet chart webquest since it's a visual break from the standard question and answer worksheets. It's perfect for a computer lab assignment or for homework/extra credit.

A chart with nine rows is provided. One piece of information has been filled in into each row giving students a hint on which planet fits that row. Students must use the Internet to determine the correct order that the planets fit into the chart as well as filling in missing pieces of information such as: number of moons, atmosphere gases, space probes that have studied the planet, planet diameter, etc...
