Introduction:
Building a model of our solar system is a good way of
learning about earth and the other planets in our solar
system that revolve around the sun. At a primary level
(Grades 1 -4), you build your model, paint and name the
planets. At a Elementary level (Grades 4-6), you will
also include the distances using small flags or a table
attached to your project display. At a Intermediate
level, you must try to build a scale model of the solar
system. |

Material
and step by step instructions
You may purchase a kit for this project from MiniScience.com or
you may decide to collect the information and obtain the
material locally. You can use plastic balls made of hard foam
and paint them to represent planets. Depending on the total size
of your model, you may connect your planets and the sun using
hard wire or you may decide to hang them with thread or wire. |
Details
of this project
More details of this project is available in the members section
of ScienceProject.com web site. This section also
includes a program that calculates the size of planets and
distances based on the size of your model sun in order to make a
scale model. Above picture is from MiniScience.com
online store, Solar System Science Kit. |
