Description: Are you studying the solar system and want your students to learn some interesting facts about the inner terrestrial planets? This set of reveal-the-picture scavenger hunts can help your students learn in a fun and engaging way. To complete the hunts, students are presented with 13-21 statements. After they read a statement, they read a passage to determine if it is true or false. If they choose the correct answer, they will advance to the next statement where a new part of the picture is uncovered. If they choose the wrong answer, they can return to the passage to see what they missed. The final card in the deck requires students to write 3 interesting things they learned about the planet covered in the deck. In the Mercury hunt, students will learn about Mercury's atmosphere and surface, how long it takes to orbit the Sun, how fast it rotates, and more. Next in the Venus hunt, students will learn how Venus got its name, why it's called Earth's twin, what its environment is like, and more. Then in the Earth hunt, students will learn why they may spin faster on Earth in different places, which desert is the largest, how Earth was named, and more. Finally in the Mars hunt, students will learn why Mars is called the Red Planet, whether or not Mars could sustain life, what scientists have discovered underneath its surface, and more. They are a great way to give students extra information about the planets, to review the planets, and get students reading informational text.
