Satelity
How to use this worksheet
- Look at how the dashed satellites balance: the square body in the middle, a matching panel on the left and on the right, and the antenna standing straight up.
- In all five rows the dashed satellites end just past the middle, and your child draws the remaining satellites alone with a panel on each side of the body.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing the second half of each row alone teaches your child to repeat a shape with two matching sides, checking that the left and right panels stay the same size from one satellite to the next.
Play idea
Draw an orbit: your child joins the freehand satellites with one long curved line, like a path around the Earth, and adds a small Earth at the end.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why does the satellite have a panel on both sides?
Real satellites collect sunlight with solar panels; on the page, the two panels teach your child to copy one side and then make the other side match it.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — medium satellites traced at the start of each row and drawn freehand at the end are a first try at copying a shape with two matching sides.
What if one solar panel on the freehand satellites is much bigger than the other?
Look at the last dashed satellite together and measure its panels with a finger, then draw the left panel first and make the right one the same length.
