Ready-to-print space board game is hilarious fun! Learn about planets, stars, gravity, asteroids, the solar system, craters, orbits, eclipses, astronomy history, seasons, and more. This space activity is perfect for an earth and space science unit.

The gorgeous board prints on 4 sheets of regular paper which can be taped, glued and/or laminated together. One hundred and twenty question cards are included which are fun and funny! Some cards ask kids to complete poems, idioms, jokes, and more in addition to standards-based astronomy questions. Differentiate learning by removing cards for topics that you're not teaching.

Print enough games for the entire class to play at the same time! Use for sub plans. There is a free video included which explains how to play the game. This game is GREAT for distance learning or remote learning; students can play at home with their families. Board games are a fantastic non-screen way to learn at home.

Included in this product:

• game board
• 120+ questions
• mission location cards
• mission complete cards
• printable game die
• simple instructions
• a link to an online video explaining how to play (for kids who prefer to watch, rather than read, the instructions :))
• all the question cards as a digital EASEL activity—these can be used for students to prepare to play the game and/or to assess their knowledge after playing
• a 25-question, self-checking EASEL digital assessment which can be used either to prepare students for the game and/or to assess their knowledge after playing

This game directly helps with teaching the following concepts:

• Develop and use a model of the Earth-sun-moon system to describe the cyclic patterns of lunar phases, eclipses of the sun and moon, and seasons.
• Support an argument that the apparent brightness of the sun and stars is due to their relative distances from the Earth.
• Develop and use a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system.
• Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted.

The game is designed so that you can adjust the length of play depending on how much time is available. Questions are at a variety of levels. You can differentiate learning by playing only with the cards that apply to your student's level and/or what you are teaching.
