Moon Matching Game Answer Key

In this matching activity, students identify which planet each moon orbits, reinforcing understanding of the Solar System’s major moons and their parent planets. Learners match twelve moons, such as Europa and Titan, to planets like Jupiter and Saturn using reasoning and prior astronomical knowledge. An extra moon is included to challenge accuracy and critical thinking. The exercise helps students build memory recall and categorization skills while deepening their grasp of planetary systems. This hands-on task encourages analytical thinking about celestial relationships and orbital structures.
