Worksheet Description

This worksheet is an educational activity that employs space-themed images to teach the concept of ‘near’ and ‘far’. It contains two sections, each with a picture of a rocket and the moon surrounded by stars. The students are asked to color the word ‘near’ or ‘far’ to describe the rocket’s distance from the moon and to color the image that correctly depicts that distance. Each section’s image portrays the rocket and moon at varying distances from each other, and the question “Is the rocket near or far from the moon?” prompts the student to make a choice.

The objective of the worksheet is to develop a child’s ability to distinguish between distances visually and to associate these with the correct terminology. Through this coloring activity, students are encouraged to observe and process visual cues to determine spatial relationships. The repetition of the task with two different images reinforces the concept and allows for practice in applying these terms correctly. This worksheet is particularly useful for young students just beginning to learn spatial concepts and the language associated with them.
