A Model of Our Solar System 
A Model of Our Solar System
Students will use their knowledge of our solar system and create a 3-dimensional geocentric or heliocentric model of it. The planets should be in the correct positions, and be relatively proportioned to each other. All planets should be clearly labeled. This project is meant to see how students view the solar system, but to also showcase their creativity. Students are encouraged to use color and to get creative while learning. This project is weighted as 2x a unit test.
