This hands-on science lesson will help your students get a more accurate view of the solar system by making a scale model. They will do the calculations, make model planets, and find out where to place them so their model reflects reality.
In this project, you will create your own scale model of the solar system by learning how to calculate scale distances, the relative sizes of planets, or both. Then, use beads and string , sidewalk chalk , or your own creative choice of materials to build a model you can explore – or maybe even wear!
JPL's Scale Model activities are a collection six hands-on activities that can fit varying student levels and lesson types. NASA Eyes lets you explore a simulation of the whole Solar System and beyond, all completely to scale, including NASA spacecraft, past and present, as well as discovered exoplanets.
This lesson plan focuses around 4 key topics, with activities for each. The plan covers renewable energy, solar energy, why solar energy is important, and what the children can do to conserve energy
Things in the Solar System (and Universe) are really far apart! Materials: For each model: • 1 meter length of cash register tape • 10 round stickers: five large and five small • pencil or marker Warm-up Questions: In this lesson we again use the concept of scale models. (1) What's a model?

16 maj 2023 · Space Science. Type. Lesson Plans / Activities, Videos. Help participants understand that there is a lot of space in between planets. Using receipt paper, participants make a scale model of the distances between objects in the solar system. They learn that the distance between planets is vast.
