The best way to appreciate the size of our solar system and the size of the planets is by creating a scaled model of them that shows how far from the sun the eight planets are located (scaled distance). Students will have the opportunity to make these estimates and attribute their findings inside (using digital mapping tools) and outside the classroom (experimentation). Thus, if the sun has the size of your school, where is the earth placed inside your city? Or maybe outside?
