Solar System Order Worksheet

These 4th grade solar system worksheets direct learners to cut out planet pieces and arrange them from the Sun on a long sheet of construction paper. Students also write one fact for each planet and attach the fact beside its matching image. A separate instruction asks them to draw the Sun much larger than Jupiter, introducing a qualitative size comparison. The second page supplies eight blank fact areas for organizing the written information before assembly.
