"I love how this model challenges student ideas about the size and distances in our solar system. Earth, the Moon and it's orbit can fit inside the Sun! It's a great project for kids and perfect for a middle school class. And, no, it won't fit in your classroom or even in a football field. Whether you have 6th, 7th, or 8th grade students, all will find this exercise intriguing. #EngagingScienceLabs, #solarsystem, #astronomy, #middleschoolscience, #tpt
