Do your students need extra practice with the earth, moon & sun? With these task cards, your students will be asked: why the moon exerts a larger gravitational pull on on Earth's oceans than the sun, why spring tides occur, why lunar eclipses only occur during a full moon, why it's warmer near the equator than at the poles, and much more!

This is an interactive set of task cards - 5 pages of cards (4 per page) for a total of 20 different cards.

I have included 4 versions:

1 set with a colorful background & QR codes

1 set with a white background & QR codes

1 set with a colorful background & no QR codes

1 set with a white background & no QR codes

Why use QR codes?

Students can check their answers by scanning the QR code on each card. Connection to the internet is not required to scan the code. However, a QR scanner is required on the device. There are several free apps available to download.

I was slow to start using QR codes in my classroom, but I highly recommend them! Students love being able to use their phones (or iPads or laptops) and the self-checking makes it easier on the teacher!

Still not convinced about using QR codes in your classroom?

Use the version without QR codes! I have included both versions so you have the choice. :)

Either version would work really well for independent study, partner work, review, or stations.

Your download will include:

Teachers Who Have Used This Product Have Said:

"I love your task cards!!! They are not the standard multiple choice questions and they require more than one-word answers. Your cards actually make kids THINK. Please keep creating them (especially for Earth Science)! Yours are some of the best ones that I have found!" - Rebecca C.
