This is a space-based KS2 / KS3 / GCSE matchup activity. Pupils consider and then rank relative altitudes of Earth features, satellites (natural & artificial) & stars. Pupils will match up and order the images, numbers and written information about each object. There are loads of maths aspects in here, deliberately included to make pupils think and question the points raised. A good real life ordering task or use as a prompt to introduce scale and scale models. Includes plenty of information to inspire as well as aspects to prompt questions and thinking skills. As well as maths and space science, can also be used as a literacy resource. Tried and tested in the classroom with various groups and ages (Yr5, Yr7, Yr8, Yr9, PGCE students). This download includes three versions of this activity - one specifically for primary pupils. Includes pdf files as well as the original powerpoint/word documents for easy editing.
