We really enjoy our Classical Conversation Co-op. This week Olive's class mapped the solar system.
The asteroid belt shown above with rocks.
The correct number of moons were added to each planet.
The class used a tape measure to help demonstrate the distance between the each planet and they used different balls to show a planet's size.
Here is a good way to help remember the planets:
Mercury My
Venus Very
Earth Educated
Mars Mother
Jupiter Just
Saturn Served
Uranus Us
Neptune Noodle
(Pluto is now a dwarf star, but Olive doesn't think that's fair.)
The ideas for this science project come from
