Solar System

Here a just a few of the ways our class is learning about the Sun's family!

Three part cards about the Solar System.


 The Sun's Family. A batik used to show the scale of the Solar System.


We used a rope tied off at various points to demonstrate how far the planets are from the sun.


The very first child all the way to the right represents the sun. The child all the way to the left represents Neptune. As you can see, the first couple of planets are very crowded while the others are very spread out.

This little girl is loving our study of the Solar System. Especially Saturn.
