Learning about constellations is so much fun...we only started learning the 88 total ones in our sky. |

Where is our Solar System?? |
|
 |
| Stretching for a while... |
|
We went outside to measure where the planets were...we used a new way of measuring...sheets of toilet paper. Each square represented 25 million miles. We counted and stretched...all the way across the field till we stopped at Neptune... |
| Trying to figure everything out... |
|
 |
| Which way does the comet go?? |
|
The students had to decide how they were going to show the planets orbiting around the sun. |
|
|
 |
| The Sun and the inner planets |
|
We don't look that squashed from Earth! |
|
|
 |
| 125 million, 150 million...wow that is far! |
|
Earth doesn't seem that far away...but when you say 93 million miles from the sun...WOW! |

Are they "stringing" me along??? |
