How Far Are the Planets?

 

Today in science, the class created a scale model of our solar system in groups.  First, we converted the actual distance of each planet from the Sun from kilometers into centimeters. Then each group had to measure the distances from the sun and place the balloon planet at the correct distance.  Check out the photos we captured.
