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.

Activity 3: Making an Outside Solar System
Instructions for leading your class through the experience of setting up a large solar system model
will help your students focus on the massive distances involved in our solar system.
The resources will guide you on how to set up the planet sizes and provide you with step-by-step directions on how to set up the outside solar system and how to keep your students engaged throughout this excellent activity.
A handy tool for determining the size of your planet models, once you have determined the size of the sun model is:
