Solar System Foldable

To make the foldable:

A. Start by getting a large piece of paper, 12” X 24”.

B. Fold the paper in half long ways

C. Unfold, fold the long edges of the paper towards the crease you just made until they meet in the center and crease the folds.

D. Folding the skinny ends together, fold the paper in half twice.

E. Unfold until you have a rectangle with two large flaps with creases.

F. Cut along the creases from the edge to the long fold.

1. On the outside, non-flap side, give the foldable a relevant title. (Be creative, use color)

2. On the outside, flap side, draw, label and color a diagram of the major items in our solar system in the order that they occur. (inner planets, sun, asteroid belt, and outer planets)

3. Under the flaps labeled “Inner planets” :

*Draw pictures of the planet and color them the correct color(s)

*Label the planet with the correct name

*Write two interesting facts (You may not label the order in which the planet occurs, whether the planet is a gas giant or terrestrial, or the color of the planet.) Make your facts interesting; spend some time looking them up. Pre-AP must put 5 facts.

4. Under the flaps labeled “Outer planets”

*Draw pictures of the planet and color them the correct color(s)

*Label the planet with the correct name

*Write two interesting facts (You may not label the order in which the planet occurs, whether the planet is a gas giant or terrestrial, or the color of the planet.) Make your facts interesting; spend some time looking them up. Pre-AP must put 5 facts.
