Solar Term Match

On this worksheet, students match key solar vocabulary words to their scrambled definitions. Terms such as fusion, sunspot, solar flare, prominence, solar wind, corona, photosphere, and chromosphere are listed in one column, while detailed explanations appear in another. Learners write the correct letter beside each word, requiring them to read carefully and distinguish between closely related concepts. The activity reinforces precise scientific language about the Sun’s features and behavior. It encourages students to attend to clues within the definitions and solidifies their understanding of how each phenomenon works. This matching task can be used before a quiz, after a lesson, or as independent practice.
