Learn More About Space

Thank you for choosing this set of brochure templates for the planets in our solar system. There is one
brochure for each (except Earth). These give students a structure to follow when doing research.

Each tri-fold brochure covers information about the planet’s location, atmosphere and surface,
characteristics, and name. Students will also use provided web links to calculate what their age and weight
would be on that planet.

Students will need to research their chosen (or assigned) planet in order to complete their brochure.

These are designed to be printed front-to-back (flip along the short side).
