Description
Students will use measurement,
ratios, and graphing
to construct a model
of the solar system and
determine the relationship
of each planet to the
Sun. They will explore
the scales needed to
represent the size of
the planets and the distances
to the Sun.
Instructional
Objectives
The student will
- use measurement
to study the placement
of the planets in our
solar system.
- use ratios
to determine the scales
needed to represent
the size of the planets
and their distances
from the Sun.
- compare
and contrast two
graphs that visually
represent the distances
of the planets to the
Sun.
