Space Cadet Training Manual

Students act as “space cadets” preparing for an interstellar mission, filling in missing terms using a scientific word bank. The fill-in-the-blank passage reviews major vocabulary related to the solar system’s small bodies, such as asteroids, meteoroids, and comets. By completing the training brief, learners strengthen their understanding of terminology and conceptual relationships among space objects.
