Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

Balloon Impacts
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners measure the diameter of their water balloons, model an impact, measure the diameter of the “crater” area, and determine the ratio of impactor to crater.
