This Grade 4 Earth Science worksheet challenges students to classify different types of solar system models — from simple diagrams to scale models — and evaluate what each one represents accurately and where it falls short. Teachers can use it after students have encountered multiple solar system representations, helping them think critically about how models are used in science. It develops model literacy within the Space Systems substrand.
