Building a Solar System Scale Model
by Candice Nelson
This lesson allows students to visualize the vast scale and immense sizes of object in the solar system. This activity can be calibrated by the math levels of your students, so they are not left struggling with conversions, and can use data to go outside and make sense of measurements and distances in an approachable way.
