    Hi everyone,
    I am looking for a lapbook on planets, either free or one that is made up (like HOAC) and ready to print. No one seems to have a lapbook on just planets. Thanks!:D

    Make one

    We make our own lapbooks from the things we are studying. I'm not sure what you mean that no one has a lapbook on the planets. We just cut several circles of different colored paper folded in half, so there will be a folded area at the top to open and close. Make the circle big enough to put facts and pics inside. Then decorate the outside to look like each planet. These can then be displayed on a large black display board (like you use for science fairs) and arranged in an orbit. You can even paint a few stars around to add effect.

    Obviously this isn't the only option, but maybe it will help get your own juices flowing? :D

    Hope this helps!

    When CurrClick was having their Mother's Day freebies, they had a unit with Planet Heroes (for Pk/K age)...wasn't necesarily a lapbook.

    You might pop over to CurrClick and see.

    Enchanted Learning has lots of stuff on planets. They don't have lapbooks, but you could cut and paste what they DO have to add to a lapbook!

    http://www.learningpage.com/pages/menu_wkshts/fact_space.html

    That link will not work if you are not a member of Learning Pages, however membership is free.

    We used many of the activities earlier this year and it was tons of fun. I think that some of it could easily be used for a lapbook.

    When we did our space lapbook, we used this one from CurrClick. It's only $2.99 and it's HUGE. We had enough to do a lapbook, a week's worth of other stuff, and still had a bunch of stuff we never even touched.
