Teaching about the order of the planets in the solar system? Then this is a must include resource in your science lesson planning.

Order of the Planets

Learning about the order of the planets is a captivating journey that sparks curiosity, fosters a sense of perspective, and enhances spatial awareness in kids. It lays the foundation for astronomy, connecting Earth with its cosmic neighbours and providing a real-world application of scientific principles. This fundamental knowledge not only inspires a love for space exploration but also encourages interdisciplinary learning, blending elements of science, mathematics, and language arts. Ultimately, understanding the order of the planets unveils the beauty of the universe, instilling a sense of awe and wonder in young minds as they gaze at the night sky.

How to Create a Collaborative Colouring Masterpiece

Print the template, then cut along the dotted lines to create individual pieces. Distribute the pieces of the template to the students. There is a right side and a wrong side to each piece. The right side has a number written in the bottom right corner. Ask the students to turn the paper over and lightly record this number in pencil on the wrong side of the paper. (This is just in case the number becomes obscured by their drawing). Students then flip the piece back over and fill in the template with lines and patterns.

Once the students have completed their work, the artwork is assembled by glueing the pieces, in number order, onto a large sheet of backing paper. A guide is provided to see what the completed artwork should look like.
