In class 12, we are a few lessons into understanding the solar system particularly the sun, planets and moons. This lesson, we explored the sizes of the planets in relation to each other, its really difficult to comprehend the actual size difference between each planet of the solar system as well as comparing them to the sun. So we worked together to create a scaled down version of each planet and placed them in order so we could discuss what we notice. Lots of children were shocked at how small Earth was in comparison to Jupiter and Saturn and they had a better understanding of why Pluto is no longer classed as a planet (Pluto is on the photo it’s just too tiny to see!).
