Are your students learning about space? Our Match It Up: Space is a purposeful task-card activity that challenges students to apply their knowledge of celestial objects and space equipment to match space-themed words with their definition and a picture.

Your students will develop their understanding of space equipment and celestial objects as they read the definition cards and match them with the corresponding word and image. This resource includes:

1. Detailed instructions
2. Match It Up: Space picture and definition cards (low and high colour options)
3. Match It Up: Space word cards
4. Reference sheet.

Top Teacher Tips:

1. Print multiple copies of the cards and cut out prior to the lesson. Ensure the picture and definition cards are separated.
2. We recommend keeping each set of cards in a separate document wallet.

This activity pairs well with our What’s Up in Space? POWERPOINT and is a part of our Year 2 Earth & Space Sciences: What’s Up in Space? UNIT PLAN.

Let’s get matching!
