About this word search
Australia has played a part in space history. The radio telescope at Parkes in New South Wales helped bring television pictures of the Apollo 11 moon landing to the world in 1969, and that story makes a good opener before this grid.
Rows, columns and diagonals all carry words here, each one running in its natural reading direction. Milky Way is printed as MILKYWAY, with no gap. Mars, Moon and Star are short and easy to miss, so search for longer names like Astronaut and Satellite first.
Once the grid is done, students can line up the five planets from the list by size, from little Mars to giant Jupiter.
