About this worksheet
Keep eclipse review active and engaging with this four-activity practice sheet for NGSS MS-ESS1-1 and grades 6-8. Students work through a solar-or-lunar sort, a vocabulary match, a fill-in-the-blank, and a word scramble, reinforcing the core ideas of the unit from several angles in one sitting.
The solar-or-lunar sort asks students to label clues as solar or lunar, building the central discrimination the standard targets. The vocabulary match covers umbra, penumbra, blood Moon, and eclipse, while the fill-in and scramble lock in key terms and the New Moon and Full Moon connections. The varied formats keep students moving and make the sheet a strong choice for review, centers, or early-finisher work.
A complete answer key is included, and everything prints cleanly in black and white. Use it after the eclipse readings and reasoning worksheet, or as part of the full eclipses unit, for a connected teach, practice, and assess flow.
