Ideas for this theme

Start with the eight planets, then look beyond them to comets, dwarf planets and other space words. A Solar System diagram can help readers place the names before the puzzle. Keep the list visible for longer spellings such as meteoroid and asteroid belt.

  • Put the eight planets in order, then sort the other words into objects and descriptive terms.
  • Use an astronomy reference to compare meteoroid, meteor and meteorite.
