Crafting the Cosmos: Planet Facts Fan-Styled Booklet

Throw away the boring worksheets and have students show their knowledge of each of the planets all while constructing this cool interactive fan-styled booklet. Students will be armed with pens, notebooks, and a thirst for knowledge as they write out the captivating details of each planet. From the fiery storms of Jupiter to the mysterious rings of Saturn, every page of their booklet will be a testament to their interplanetary expertise.

Each planet has an image to be coloured and stuck onto the template. Students can colour the planets the correct colours too – to show their knowledge.

How to Create this Planet Fan Booklet

Provide each student with eight of the fact sheets (one for each planet). Have students complete one fact sheet for each planet. Also, provide the students with each of the planets for them to colour and stick the corresponding planet onto their completed fact sheet.

You can then use a split pin in the middle of the bottom of the fact sheets to attach them together and create the fan-like action.
