The eight planets in order from the Sun, drawn to one scale down the page, with the edge of the Sun across the top. Print them named with their sizes, with a table of facts, or with the names to write in and an answer key; the planets are left white to colour.

Planets named gives each planet’s name and how wide it is, in kilometres and miles. Planets with facts adds a table: how far each is from the Sun, how long its year is and how many moons it has. Names to write in leaves a line beside each planet for its name, and with the answer key the named sheet follows as a second page. The planets are left white, so children can colour them in.
The Sun and every planet are drawn at one scale, the scale printed at the foot of the sheet, so Jupiter is about eleven times as wide as Earth and the curve across the top is the edge of the Sun, which is far too big to fit. The distances are not to scale: at the scale of a Letter or A4 sheet, Neptune would be about a kilometre from the Sun or more, half a mile or more. Saturn’s bright rings are drawn at their true width. Pluto, a dwarf planet, is not drawn. The figures are from NASA’s Planetary Fact Sheet; the number of moons grows as astronomers find more.
The eight phases of the Moon in order round a ring, from the new Moon to the waning crescent, with the 29.5 days one cycle takes in the middle. Print them named, to name with a word bank and an answer key, or to shade, or print a Moon journal to draw the real Moon on 30 nights.
The Earth cut open to show its four layers, the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core, with the core drawn to scale. Print it labelled, with what each layer is and how thick, or with empty boxes and a word bank, and the labelled sheet after it as the answer key. For grades 6 to 8, the same sheets come with six layers, the lithosphere and the asthenosphere added.
A volcano cut in half to show its eight parts: the magma chamber, the conduit, the vent and the crater, a side vent, a lava flow, the ash cloud and the layers it is built of. Print it labelled, with what each part is, or with empty boxes and a word bank, and the labelled sheet after it as the answer key. A second sheet draws the four kinds of volcano side by side: a cinder cone, a composite volcano, a shield volcano and a lava dome.
Magma, igneous rock, sediment, sedimentary rock and metamorphic rock round one loop, with the change between each on its arrow. Print it labelled, to label, to cut and glue, or to sort, each with its key.
The four stages of a monarch butterfly drawn in a cycle, egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly, with an arrow from each to the next and what happens at each stage. Print it labelled, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The four stages of a northern leopard frog drawn in a cycle, egg, tadpole, froglet and frog, with an arrow from each to the next and what happens at each stage. Print it labelled, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The life cycle of a flowering plant, a bean, drawn in four stages, seed, sprout, seedling and adult plant with its flowers and pods, with an arrow from each to the next and back to the seed. Print it labelled, with what happens at each stage, to label with a word bank, or to cut and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The four stages of a chicken drawn in a cycle, egg, embryo, chick and hen, with an arrow from each to the next and what happens at each stage, the days counted from the egg. Print it labelled, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The four stages of a ladybug drawn in a cycle, eggs, larva, pupa and adult, with an arrow from each to the next and what happens at each stage. Print it labelled, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The four stages of a pumpkin drawn in a cycle, seed, sprout, flower and pumpkin, with an arrow from each to the next and back to the seed. Print it labelled, with what happens at each stage, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The four stages of an apple tree drawn in a cycle, seed, young tree, blossom and apple, with an arrow from each to the next and back to the seed. Print it labelled, with what happens at each stage, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The four stages of a wild turkey drawn in a cycle, eggs in a nest, poult, young turkey and a tom with his tail spread, with an arrow from each to the next and what happens at each stage. Print it labelled, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
