Science Enhanced Scope & Sequence Grade 6

Comets can be very far from the sun. They can also travel in long, thin orbits that carry them close to the sun. They are small and icy, but evaporate in the sun’s heat, creating a tail. Asteroids are commonly found between Mars and Jupiter. They are dense and much smaller than our moon. Solar System Student Observation Sheet. Name: Date: Class: ................
