Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

After reading about how the sun gets its energy, and about the layers and features of the sun's atmosphere, heliologists complete a comprehension worksheet. On it, they label features on a diagram of the sun and match terms from the reading with their descriptions. This attractive assignment would be ideal as homework for your upper-elementary solar scientists.
