🪐 How Do You Remember the Order of the Planets?
This can be a tricky concept to remember, but with the help of a mnemonic device, students will remember the correct order in no time!
With this science worksheet, students will answer questions about their understanding of planet order, types of planets and special features of individual planets. This worksheet accompanies the ‘Planets of Our Solar System – Teaching Slides’ resource.
Additionally, if you are looking for themed posters to go with the worksheet and teaching presentation, check out our beautifully designed Planets of the Solar System Posters!
