About this word search
Every planet in this list has a name from mythology, with Earth the one exception. Mars is the Roman god of war, Venus the goddess of love, and Jupiter and Saturn come from the same Roman tradition. Earth comes from an Old English word for ground or soil.
Look across, down and on the slant, and you can always read the word in its normal order. Milky Way is written without the space, and Telescope and Satellite are long enough to spot quickly once the first few letters line up.
For a solar system project, students can put the planet words in order from the Sun and then add the ones missing from the list.
