Reading a Timeline: Space Travel

Prepare to blast off with this worksheet all about space travel! To start, students will read a timeline covering five significant events in space travel. Then, they must answer a series of comprehension questions about the order, sequence, and timing of the historical events. Lastly, learners will write about where they would want to explore in space and why.

Timelines are an important tool for illustrating the chronological order of historical events. Fourth and fifth graders will need to read, analyze, and construct timelines independently as they learn about significant events in history.
