Our solar system contains eight planets, a star, and countless smaller objects orbiting through space. These flash cards help students learn vocabulary about the structure and features of our cosmic neighborhood.
These flash cards pair space terms with their definitions. Students flip cards to learn that an ORBIT is the path an object follows around another, an ASTEROID is a rocky object orbiting the sun, and a SATELLITE is any object orbiting a planet.
Use these flash cards during a space or astronomy unit. After studying, have students create a scale model of the solar system in the hallway or playground, labeling each object with its vocabulary term.
