Eleven numbered pins mark the Sun, the eight planets, the asteroid belt and the Kuiper Belt, and children write each name on the matching numbered line with no word bank. It works as a quick quiz after a lesson on the planets in order, or as review before a test. The answer key shows the numbers and names together.
For more practice first, use the label quiz and the "Order it" quiz in the interactive solar system explorer, or the solar system worksheet, which has a word bank.
Tips for using it
- Give a bonus point for writing each planet's type, rocky or giant.
- Older students can add each planet's distance in AU from the explorer's table.
