Our Solar System- Discovering Size WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Celebrate World Space Week from 4th October and inspire some awe and wonder at the universe we journey through at home or in school with this fun and engaging worksheet.
The Earth is scaled down to the size of a tennis ball and from here learners will substitute real diameters of the planets and their distance from the Sun into two different formulae to calculate their size and distance from the Sun based on the scaled size of Earth. Examples are provided so that pupils can work independently throughout.
We have created 5 worksheets altogether suitable for all high school learners.
