Planet Fact Balls | Planet Research | The Solar System

You and your students will love this simple yet effective planet research activity. Explore the solar system in a hands-on way and enable your students to showcase their learning in their final planetary display (which will also make you classroom or hall displays look fab!)

You will receive:

Information Texts:

• General solar system information text to kick start your students research by giving them some background information on the topic.
• Then each planet has its own 1/2 page information text (8 total).

Fact Ball: students record facts on individual strips. Each strip has a designated focus to help keep students on track:

• Size & placement in the solar system
• Orbit and rotation
• Surface
• Moons
• Atmosphere & temperature
• Who discovered it? When and how?
• Wow Facts!

Once students have recorded all of their facts, they then get to decorate and assemble their planet.

Students can work individually or even as a group!
