10 unique and unusual science-based examples of solar system modeling that
use simple materials with all these interactive activities stress the use of
decimals, fractions, and proportions in a scalable, adaptable, and fun
exploration of the planets, including Pluto and the Asteroid Belt.
TAKEAWAYS:
Attendees will experience the solar system in new ways through activities addressing hands-on size comparisons, geologic age, light distance, object ratios, density, gravity, and travel time. Each model uses inexpensive and effective materials that are easily recreated and shared.
