Today is the final day for our Solar System Theme. Students will combine their learnings from the last two weeks and build their own model of the solar system they live in.
Each student has been assigned a planet of their own. They have researfched and studied each planet and are aware of the compositions of each. With the information they have they will work in a group of 8 to build and create a scale model of the solar system. Students will be able to use a variety of materials to create their solar system model. They may use fruit, some may want to use styrofoam, others may want to use marbels. The idea behind this project is to have the students be able to correctly show the size relationships of the planets from smallest to largest, closest to farthest from the sun.
