An Introduction to the Scale of the Solar System: Lesson 2 of 2
by Chloe de Masi
This lesson serves to provide an extension to lesson one. In this lesson, students will have the opportunity to build their own model of the solar system to scale, utilizing math concepts of exponents and ratios and proportions to help them build their models.
While students could try to create a model of the solar system to scale using distance AND size, it will be difficult for them to do this, as both videos show. It is recommended students choose to represent either the distance or size of the planets to scale.
