Guess the Moon

In this deductive reasoning activity, students identify famous moons in our Solar System using descriptive clues. Each statement highlights key features-such as volcanic activity, icy surfaces, or atmospheric composition-and students must match them to the correct moon from a provided list. Learners apply their understanding of planetary science, geology, and exploration discoveries to make accurate identifications. The exercise builds critical thinking and recall of factual knowledge while reinforcing distinctions between moons like Europa, Titan, and Io. It promotes comprehension of how each moon’s unique traits contribute to scientific study of the Solar System.
