The Easy sheet uses short words such as sun, moon, and star; Medium and Hard add words such as telescope, astronaut, and lightyear. Print one copy per student or use a single sheet at a science table. The separate answer key makes checking quick, and the black-and-white layout is suitable for classroom printers. Use it with a solar-system model, a space book, or a discussion about the planets to keep the vocabulary connected to the lesson.
