Flip Books!

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

These aren't exactly worksheets, but rather a selection of pdf files of different atmospheric or solar events. Print your chosen pdf file for each aspiring astronomer in your class, have them cut out the individual mini pages, arrange them in order, and staple together to create a flip book. The series includes auroras, coronal mass ejections, or solar flares. Your elementary space scientists will enjoy these as an enrichment activity.
