= Partner SiteSun, Moon & Earth Word Searches
The relationship between the sun, the moon, and the Earth is where most space units begin, and these word searches follow that arc. The set covers the sun’s light and heat, the moon and its phases, the cycle of day and night, and Earth’s place in space — vocabulary that supports lessons on rotation, orbit, and the reasons behind what we see in the sky. Arranged for 1st through 5th grade, the puzzles grow from small grids for new readers to larger, diagonal-word grids for older students. Print one as a unit opener or a review, and let the answer key on page two do the checking.
