Summary: This interdisciplinary course will allow investigations into the relative location of objects in our solar system, how to change the scale of those items, the relative size of objects in a model. Students are further encouraged to conduct research on the moons in our solar system and then to make a model of one, complete with its features using artistic techniques.
Goals: The goals of the course are to impress scale modeling techniques and perspectives.
Pre-requisite: Understanding of ratios is helpful.
Index of Course Activities:
-
Students make a single page model of the solar system planet distances.
The purpose of this activity is to reinforce student understanding of distances between planets in our solar system.
This exercise is simplistic but elegant in its impact on students.
