All About Space Word Search & Books for Upper Elementary Ages
Are your kids fascinated by all things outer space? Mine sure are! Big Brother has several informative books that we’ve purchased over the last couple of years and are sharing our experience with them below. We also created a fun All About Space Word Search printable using terms found in all three books.
Non-fiction Books About Space
Magic School Bus 3-D: A Journey Through the Solar System
This book is neat because it is 3-D! The illustrations are fun and the pages feature bite-sized info on specific topics such as Jupiter and it’s red storm (The Great Red Spot), icy dwarf planets, and comets.
National Geographic Kids Planets
Big Brother’s favorite part of this book is the ‘Stump Your Parents’ quiz at the end. It is a level 2 reader lots of great info. You can’t really go wrong with National Geographic Kids, they always seem to fascinate kids of all ages. We bought ours as a set from the book fair at school. The set included Volcanoes
, Rocks & Minerals
, Storms
and Weather
.
All About Space (Scholastic First Encyclopedia)
This is a great book to find at a used book store or check out at the library. It jam packed with all things space with my favorite being the northern and southern constellations pages. It also has fun ‘Did you know?’ clipboard notes. Example: The tail of a comet always points away from the Sun.
All About Space Word Search
Here’s a fun word search featuring space words my 8 year old and I thought of as well as ones we found in the glossary of two of the books. It is great for elementary-aged kids who love all things outer space. Print it and see if they can find all 24 words. I will add a separate answer sheet link to check incase there is any you can’t find.
TERMS OF USE: Please note that this printable word search is free for personal and classroom use only. You may not host it elsewhere or modify it’s contents. When referring other people, please link to this post and not to the PDF link as it changes from time-to-time. Thank you!
