Solar System Project
The 3rd and 4th graders are currently learning about the solar system in Science. For our project, students will take their knowledge of our solar system and create a 3-dimensional model we can hang from the ceiling. The planets should be in the correct order and be relatively proportioned to each other (example: Mars should not be bigger than Jupiter). The sun should be included as part of the solar system. All the planets should be clearly labeled in some way. This is a project meant to not only see how students view the solar system, but to also showcase their creativity. Students are encouraged to use color and get creative while learning.
The project is worth 25 points and is due Wednesday, Oct 21.
*Please do not use pre-made solar system models
