Order the Planets: Cut and Paste

Students cut out the planets and glue each one in order from the Sun, using the memory trick to help. Check with the key and read the planet facts aloud.

One student page after the cover, with 8 numbered boxes beside the Sun and 8 planets to cut out: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. A memory trick is printed on the page. The answer key shows the planets in order and adds a fact for each, like Jupiter is the largest planet.
