A Model of Our Solar System

Students will create a 3-dimensional model of it. The planets should be in the correct order and be relatively proportioned to each other (example: Mars should not be bigger than Jupiter). The sun should be included as part of the solar system. All planets should be clearly labeled in some way. Students are encouraged to use color and to get creative while learning. Each student will have to present their project to the class, so they should come prepared to discuss their model.
